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.
