Ron Aplin Script
Letterhead Fonts · Jeff Marshall
A sign-painter's brush script digitised by Jeff Marshall, based on the style he developed under Australian signwriting master Ron Aplin circa 1958.
About
The thick, legible letterforms reflect decades of hand-painting on vehicles and signs, with each of the two font files – Regular and Distressed – including 39 alternate letters and ligatures. The generous stroke weight invites decorative finishing techniques such as inlines, colour fades and bevel effects, keeping the font firmly in the tradition of commercial sign lettering.
Classification
A hand-painted brush script rooted in Australian sign-writing tradition, with thick strokes suited to decorative treatments such as inlines and gold leaf. The inclusion of a Distressed variant and alternate letters reinforces its hand-crafted, vernacular script character.
