About Filmotype Kitten Font Family


Filmotype Kitten followed in the footsteps of Filmotype Ledger as a high-style connecting script with strong contrasting thick and thin strokes to create an elegant hand-lettered look which found the height of its popularity in the mid-to-late 1950s. This style of lettering was most commonly used in department stores, jewelry boutiques and where high quality luxury merchandise was offered for sale. Filmotype Kitten was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character compliment, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a wonderful compliment of alternate characters and ligatures creating a genuine connecting hand painted look in dynamic OpenType format.

About Filmotype

Originally sold in the 1950s, the Filmotype introduced by its founders Allan and Beatrice Friedman was a simple manually operated photo typesetting machine (the iMac of the 1950s) and it used 2-inch filmstrips with over 500 amazing display alphabets so the user could set headlines on photo paper or film. Filmotype eventually went on to become Alphatype until the Mac came along in 1984 and POOF! No more photo typesetting! In 2006, the Font Diner acquired this amazing photo film alphabet collection and continues to digitize and releasing these wonderful gems of 1950s lettering as digital fonts! To learn more about the history of this amazing company, a companion book was written and released in 2009. It's called Filmotype: By the Letter - An Illustrated History and at over 130 pages, this book will be sure to become a cherished keepsake in your design bookshelf and can be purchased at (http://www.fontbros.com/merchandise.php).
