Dreamland
Parkinson Type Design · Jim Parkinson
A top-heavy display face drawn from mid-20th century American poster and showcard lettering, with a lowercase that sets it apart from its closest precedent, Showcard Gothic.
About
Dreamland takes its cues from the informal brush-lettered posters and showcards of the mid-20th century, sharing DNA with Showcard Gothic but offering a lowercase alphabet for greater flexibility. Its bold, top-heavy construction gives it an exuberant, hand-made quality suited to headlines and decorative titling. The design sits at the informal end of the display spectrum, prioritising character over polish.
Classification
A bold, top-heavy display face inspired by mid-20th century poster and showcard lettering. Its informal, hand-influenced character places it firmly in the display category, comparable to Showcard Gothic but with a lowercase and a looser, less structured feel.
