Over 2,000 posters were produced by the W.P.A. to raise awareness and support the arts. I have a lot of admiration for these posters and a style of sign painters' lettering that was common in the U.S. during the 1930s-'40s. WPA Gothic gets much of its inspiration from this poster in particular. This FontStruction stays true to the sample’s simple letterforms, but the FontStruct grid does present a few limitations. For more refined typefaces of this style check out Futura Display, Tourist Gothic, FF Moderne Gothics, Refrigerator, and MVB Solano Gothic by some of my favorite type designers, two of which (Van Bronkhorst and Parkinson) are East Bay natives. WPA Gothic has a few alternate glyphs hanging out in the Extended Latin slots with more to come. To get a look at the typeface outside the confines of the FontStruct sampler, here's a sample poster.

Most of them are very pixely looking (all characters were at the start, thus Riged (I know its not spelt that way)). I then started to add curves and circles to basic latin and I am going to continue until the font is a good font that everyone can enjoy. If you have any tips that would make this font better then please tell me as I am sure I have made a few mistakes. *UPDATE - "x", "M", "m" have now been fixed 5th July 2008A%20new%20font%20that%20contains%20a%20lot%20of%20characters%2C%20over%20350.%20Most%20of%20them%20are%20very%20pixely%20looking%20%28all%20characters%20were%20at%20the%20start%2C%20thus%20Riged%20%28I%20know%20its%20not%20spelt%20that%20way%29%29.%20I%20then%20started%20to%20add%20curves%20and%20circles%20to%20basic%20latin%20and%20I%20am%20going%20to%20continue%20until%20the%20font%20is%20a%20good%20font%20that%20everyone%20can%20enjoy.%20If%20you%20have%20any%20tips%20that%20would%20make%20this%20font%20better%20then%20please%20tell%20me%20as%20I%20am%20sure%20I%20have%20made%20a%20few%20mistakes.%0D%0A%0D%0A%2AUPDATE%20-%20%22x%22%2C%20%22M%22%2C%20%22m%22%20have%20now%20been%20fixed%205th%20July%202008
