scriptAlf Becker sign-lettering revival
Whomp specimen from Sudtipos

A bold brush revival of an incomplete 1930s Alf Becker sign-painting poster alphabet.

About

Whomp draws on Becker's monthly Signs of the Times alphabets, begun in 1932 and compiled nine years later into a book that became a sign-painting bestseller. This particular alphabet existed only as words on a poster rather than a full character showing, so Alejandro Paul had to complete the missing letters himself.

Classification

Digitises an incomplete Alf Becker poster alphabet from the sign-painter's monthly Signs of the Times series, begun in 1932, rather than a complete original character set.
