About Signal1885 Font Family


Signal1885 is the abbreviated name for "(Sig)nature Jour(nal)" a font that harkens back to an era, when fine handwriting filled journals with observations of science and adventure. Intimate and reflective of an individual entering his thoughts in his personal journal or a ship’s captain documenting his voyage on a daily basis. Signal1885 is penmanship that reflects hand forms from by-gone days. Its a minimal glyph set which can be used at various sizes as small as 18 points. It includes a selection of ink drips and smudges, that are the “mark” of a hand done entry. These can be placed in strategic places on the type to indicate a hand dragging through or dripping fresh ink on to the paper. Set sail- and keep a diary of your voyage.

About astroluxtype

At astroluxtype we explore the font style of various vernacular pop culture influences. But also what maybe on our minds when we sit down to the drawing board. Our fonts are what in the old days they called "display" or "headline" fonts intended to be used large and larger and then larger!, across the top of the masthead or headline or home page. What amuses us in creative type design, we hope finds an use in your next project. astroluxtype is the foundry of Glenn Parsons.
