Coffee Shop specimen from Letterhead Fonts

A two-variant display font drawn from a 1930s H.C. Martin showcard design, capturing the hand-lettered commercial lettering style of mid-century American sign painting.

About

Based on a design from H.C. Martin's 'Martin's Ideas' books published in the 1930s, the typeface comes in Regular and Fancy variants to reflect the ornamental flexibility typical of showcard lettering. It suits vintage-styled branding, packaging and signage where period American commercial lettering is the reference point.

Classification
