Filmotype Austin was among the company's first brush lettered casuals introduced by Filmotype in the early-1950s. It perfectly captures the mid-century playfulness of brushed show-card lettering while providing comfortable readability.
Filmotype Austin was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character compliment, automatic fractions, ordinals, and a nice compliment of alternate characters and ligatures creating a genuine hand-painted look 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 high-quality digitizations of this historic collection, adapted for the modern age.
