Initially designed in 1953 and likely inspired by the styles made popular by Lettering, Inc, Filmotype Ford solves the needs of customers looking for a more heavy duty sans serif style with a 1940s sensibility. Even with its ultra wide characters, Filmotype Ford retains its legibility at a variety of sizes.
Remastered and expanded with exacting precision from the original filmstrips, Filmotype Ford includes a full international character complement, automatic fractions, ordinals, and a suite of alternate forms in dynamic OpenType format.About the designer:
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 a high-quality digitization of this historic collection, adapted for the modern age.
