In 1966, I was drafted into the US Army. After completing my basic training I was assigned to a graphic arts department in Okinawa. (How lucky can you be! smack in the middle of the Vietnam War I am working in the US Army's Graphics department.)
My very first assignment was working with a very talented Illustrator. He was commissioned to illustrate a light hearted poster depicting how troops should conduct themselves in a foreign country. I was shocked when I was told that I had to hand letter the title right on the original piece of art work the illustrator just spent over two weeks working on. I could hardly stop my hand from shaking long enough to complete the hand lettering. However it turned out a success and the final 2 foot by 3 foot poster was printed and sent to all the military bases. The original art hung in the commanding officers office.
Thirty years later I decided to make a complete font out of that original headline from that poster. Unfortunately the original poster was long gone but I was pretty much able to remember my original lettering. I now call it Animated Gothic, which is available in two weights.
