P22 type foundry announces an addition to its popular series of Frank Lloyd Wright fonts with FLLW® Midway™ and releases a new font inspired by Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin.
FLLW® Midway™
In 1913, Edward C. Waller, Jr. commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to expand an Amusement Park complex and turn it into an upscale palatial beer garden. The Midway Gardens was born. FLLW® Midway™ is based on the lettering found on the Midway Garden’s working drawings. The lettering itself is in Mr. Wright’s distinctive hand. This type of architectural lettering is a bit more casual than standard lettering found on most blueprints. It evokes the personality of Frank Lloyd Wright in a way that complements the other fonts in the P22 FLLW font series. The set contains Midway One and Midway Two, which can be used interchangeably to give a more naturalistic feeling of hand lettering. Also included is Midway Ornaments, which features over 100 architectural and decorative elements that can be combined in many ways for surprising and effective decorative motifs and borders. Designed for P22 by Paul hunt.
