About Swan Song
The mid-20th century was possibly the richest period ever in American calligraphy and lettering. For a few years on either side of the second World War, the American publishing industry underwent considerable growth, and written commercial communication was very much in demand. Calligraphers, letterers and sign painters of the time were always busy, though not too academic or aware of the history of the work they were performing. One of the few exceptions to the rule back then was Professor Alexander Nesbitt, whose calligraphy and lettering were perhaps the most straight forward historical lessons of the time, and whose brush strokes are the basis for Swan Song.
Rooted in day to day handwriting, Swan Song is a quick and irregular artistic jolt at first impression, and surprisingly richly-textured art at second glance. Whatever these letters are used to communicate, the communicator is content, confident, humorous, strong and experienced, and the reader will be glad to receive the personal contact of such a communicator.
Swan Song comes in all popular font formats, and includes plenty of built-in alternates.
