75 alphabets made for sign painters, as an instant download.
Faust’s 75 New Alphabets (1912) by Charles Ayers Faust delivers exactly what the title promises — 75 alphabets “for brush, air brush, air pencil,” drawn specifically for the working sign painter. A working reference, not a parlor book.
Inside this 1912 pattern-book:
A pattern-book of letterforms: ornamental alphabets and initials collected for working craftsmen, not scholars. Lettering artists, sign painters, engravers, and calligraphers laying out signs, engravings, or illuminated work will find 90 pages of 1912 inspiration in Charles Ayers Faust’s plates.
