Initially designed in the early to mid-1950s, Filmotype Fashion picks up where Futura left off. With a looser take on a geometric design and drawn wider to capture a more sophisticated 1960s visual aesthetic, Filmotype Fashion retains a classic and timeless feel.
Re-mastered and expanded with exacting precision from the original filmstrips, Filmotype Fashion includes a full international character compliment, automatic fractions, ordinals, and a suite of alternates in dynamic OpenType format.About the designer:
Stuart Sandler launched the Font Diner foundry in 1996 and has become a major resource for retro design software products. He has created more than 400 original typefaces for the graphic design industry and established a reputation as the premier retro display typography designer inspired by 1950s popular culture.
Finding itself securely at the historical crossroads between lead type and the computer revolution, the Filmotype library, developed in the 1950s and 1960s, grew to encompass several hundred fonts available to designers, providing typeface designs on 2-inch filmstrips. Filmotype initially manufactured a manual phototype machine enabling headline and display typesetting utilizing a photochemical development process, helping to revolutionize the process of advertising layout and lettering.
In 2006, Stuart Sandler and Font Diner revived the Filmotype marque, intending to create high-quality digitizations of this historic collection, adapted for the modern age.
