Typeface notes:

Colin Brignall, type director of Letraset, designed the short-serifed Aachen Bold in 1969 to fill the need for a contemporary, heavy Egyptian letterform; Egyptians are nineteenth-century designs characterized by their slab serifs. Aachen Bold grabs attention in sports or commercial display work such as signage, advertising, T-shirts, or packaging.

Freestyle Script is a casual, unconnected script face designed in 1981 for Letraset by Martin Wait. Freestyle Script is a fine-line brush script that is useful for work requiring an informal, friendly style, such as announcements, invitations, and signage.

Inspired by posters of the early 1900s, Revue was designed for Letraset in 1968 by Colin Brignall. Revue is a sans serif design characterized by heavy bow-shaped letterforms, strokes that are clipped off at the ends of some capitals, for example the F and H, and an irregular baseline. Revue is a fine choice for display work such as posters, advertising, and billboards.

University Roman is based on Speedball hand-lettering. Designed at the Letraset Type Studio in 1983, University Roman is notable for its narrow capitals with crossbars that sit well above the median line. This unique roman design evokes a romantic air in display work such as packaging and advertising.
