PintassilgoPrints · Maury Nemoy
A single-weight display typeface reviving hand-lettering by Maury Nemoy from 1957, with stylistic alternates for varied, organically irregular compositions.
About
Based on mid-century commercial hand-lettering, the typeface carries the loose, expressive quality of 1950s title work. Stylistic alternates allow designers to introduce variation between repeated characters, reducing the mechanical regularity that digital fonts can impose on hand-drawn sources. It suits headlines, poster work, film titles and book covers where a vintage handcrafted feel is required.
Classification
A vintage hand-lettered display typeface based on 1957 lettering by Maury Nemoy, featuring irregular, expressive strokes characteristic of mid-century commercial hand-lettering. Its display-only nature, stylistic alternates and decorative character firmly place it in the display category.
