The Modern Signwriter, 1954
Techniques for drawing well-proportioned lettering and type are pretty constant. The Modern Signwriter is a practical study compiled from almost 30 essays, including Signwriters’ Materials, Letter Proportions, Spacing, Gilding, Glasswork and Heraldry. Pretty much all of which is relevant still.
Introduction by W. G. Sutherland, some things never change:
There is no more fascinating craft than that of the signwriter, and none that better repays intelligent study and clear and careful thought. His art is one which help in no small degree to make or mar the appearance of a building. An announcement of any kind, well spaced and clearly written, in well balanced colour, is a source of real satisfaction to the eye.
I’m naturally drawn to the areas of Projected Letters and Cast Shadows, written by E. Sanderson, which relates to my typeface work. Both Brim Narrow and my current design, made use of cast shadows and it’s great to get another perspective (pun unintentional), especially the softer, hand-drawn feel.
You can find copies of this book secondhand. Keep your eyes peeled.
