California Poster SG

Known to many eastern artists as the California Poster Letter because it originated in the West, this old 1930s style has reappeared in digital form.

Carl Holmes, in his wonderful book on old lettering styles, pays tribute to this uniquely American design. Faintly reminiscent of the lettering of Fred G. Cooper, California Poster Bold is at times wildly exaggerated and boisterous. Letters appear to be inflated and loopy. The design might aptly be described as a kind of rollicking Cooper Black (Oswald Bruce Cooper).

An extensive range of alternates and figures has been provided for your convenience.
