Cincinnati Poster
Letterhead Fonts · Arthur Vanson
A one-stroke poster brush typeface developed from a historical plate in 'Signs of the Times' magazine, offered in Overstroke and Smooth variants.
About
Drawn from the tradition of poster-brush lettering that predates digital type, Cincinnati Poster is based on a plate from an old issue of 'Signs of the Times' magazine. The family includes two stylistic variants – Overstroke and Smooth – along with full punctuation and accented characters. Arthur Vanson's take sits squarely in the hand-lettered signage tradition, intended for headline and display use.
Classification
A one-stroke poster brush lettering style, derived from historical signage references. The fluid, gestural forms place it firmly in the display brush category, suited to large-scale poster applications.
