Within the pages of “The Essentials of Lettering” by Thomas E. French and Robert Meiklejohn (circa 1912) is an example for creating a sans serif alphabet and numerals.
The lesson plate is entitled “Upright Single-Stroke Gothic”; a basic monoline font most useful for architectural and drafting plans because of its easy-to-read properties.
This type design is now available as Drafting Class JNL, in both regular and oblique versions.

Inspired by architect Rudolf M. Schindler's hand lettering, this fearless display font is perfect in vintage and contemporary settings. As timeless as Schindler's designs, Highway Bungalow is sure to impress.
This is condensed and more visually compact version of Skarpa font. All kerning has been thoroughly revised and manually adjusted.
The font is based on geometric forms devoid of excessive flourishing.
Would suit modern designs either in fashion, technology or laboratory setting. Would look good on door plaques in pharmacy or simple drawer plaques - especially Medium or Bold specimen. Lighter specimens would look good in leaflet & magazine print (see presented posters).
