Letterhead Fonts · Mike Erickson
A display face by Mike Erickson modelled on Speedstyle architect's lettering templates, updated with modern touches for logo and branding use.
About
Drawing from the mechanical precision of architect's Speedstyle lettering guides, Roper adapts the template aesthetic for contemporary graphic work. Lowercase delivers an approachable, informal tone while uppercase reads as functional and utilitarian, giving designers a degree of tonal range within a single face. The character set includes numbers, full punctuation and accented characters.
Classification
A display face styled after architect's Speedstyle lettering templates, placing it in the technical/drafting lettering tradition with a contemporary update. Its dual-register personality (utilitarian uppercase, friendly lowercase) is characteristic of display rather than text use.
