Introduced by Filmotype in the early to mid-1950s, Filmotype Homer was created in response to customer demand for a wider brush script expanding on Filmotype’s popular sign painter sho-card lettering styles used in the late 1940s through the 1950s. With its bold unique brush lettered forms and larger x-height, Filmotype Homer is easily readable at smaller sizes while retaining is classic pinstripe speed shop look.

Filmotype Homer was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character complement, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a generous complement of alternate characters and ligatures, creating a genuine connecting hand-painted look in dynamic OpenType format.
