Outline Alphabets

Here's an attractive treasury of alphabets that provides graphic artists with sources of design opportunities. For his latest collection of new and imaginative typefaces, typographer and type historian Dan Solo has compiled an impressive volume of eye-catching, versatile, and royalty-free outline alphabet styles. Reproduced here in sharp black-and-white are 100 complete fonts, featuring expressive faces in a variety of styles: Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Victorian, contemporary, and many more. Included are the stately Albertus Outline, the classic Bauhaus Outline, charming Gill Floriated, and exotic Mandarin Outline, the stark and simple Ben Franklin Open, the commanding Normandie Open, appealing Washington Outline, and the optically engrossing Pluto Outline. Most fonts include both upper- and lower-case letters; many also feature numbers and punctuation marks. And equally important, the inexpensive, attention-getting letters are ready for immediate use on signs and posters, in newsletters, and countless other graphic projects.
