Liz DeLuna
American designer of these typefaces: - Litho Compressed (2016), which is a revival of a typeface designed by William Schraubstadter as Litho Condensed in 1908. Litho Compressed was published as part of the Litho Family by the Inland Type Foundry from 1907-1911 and the American Type Foundry in 1912. The Litho Family was intended to imitate a style of lettering popular with lithographers when lettering and designs were drawn on lithographic stones.
- Bequeath (2016). Liz explains: The Bequeath typeface is based on gravestone inscriptions carved by Uzal Ward between 1752 and 1792. Ward's lettering style was expressive with a tall x-height, curled finials and a trumpeted lower case t and f. For some of the glyphs alternates were created, in order to include some of the more atypical letter forms, like the slanted uppercase A. Glyphs were also created for the death heads and some of the other decorative flourishes on the headstones. The intention was to create a distinctive digital typeface for use in contemporary design contexts, with reverence to its historical roots.
- Bowery (2016). Liz: The Bowery typeface is based on letter forms carved into a stone plaque located in the Bowery Mission meeting room on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, dated ca. 1895. In creating the digital typeface design the intention was to retain the eclectic qualities and features of the carved letter forms while transforming them into a cohesive typeface. In order to address the idiosyncrasies inherent in the letter forms alternates were created for some of the glyphs.
