About Forgotten Playbill Font Family


Years ago, I came across a vintage playbill and was struck by its lettering. The detailed floral pattern surrounded by thick outlines stayed in my mind even though the play's name and cast have faded. I finally tried to recreate the style from memory and Forgotten Playbill is the result. While all letters are actually capitals, the uppercase rotate slightly counterclockwise and the lowercase slightly clockwise. I suggest alternating between the two to reproduce my mystery inspiration.

About Lauren Ashpole

Lauren Ashpole began designing fonts at a relatively early age when her mother bought her the necessary software despite its costing more than an entire Sony Playstation and leading to a complete monopolization of the family computer. She posted her work at the website livingend.com between 1997 and 2001. After taking a break to focus on the usual college and career angst of young adulthood, she found herself once again drawn in by the siren song of font design. Fortunately, she now owns her own computer.
