This file provides detailed information on the Life Savers Font Software.

This information should be distributed along with the Life Savers fonts

Basic Font Information

Do you remember the "Life Savers" candies adds from the 50s?
That was a time when Ad Agencies actually hired Lettering Artist for they advertising text.
Before the advent of Photo Typesetting, all the text was beautifully drawn by hand.

We are going to put some love to work and bring back the Life Savers hand-lettered Typewritter/Stymie mix.
Probably drawn originally by Frazier Purdy for the Sam Marsh Studio.
Revival by Pablo Impallari, Rodrigo Fuenzalida and Brenda Gallo, spaced and kerned by iKern.
