Member SWr… Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi Everyone: Several years ago, I was cross-country skiing in West Virginia. The ski hut had what appeared to be an old thermometer with what appeared to be hand-lettered type. It has a rustic, somewhat Scandinavian look to it—very angular and geometric...yet also very organic at the same time. I'm curious if anyone here has ever seen this before? I'm assuming there is no digital version of this. I'd pay to have a digital font of this—it would be great project (possibly difficult, since all the characters aren't there). I've attached a JPEG. Any thoughts? Scott Link to comment
Member Geo… Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 You are correct about the type; it is hand-lettered. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The curved triangle pattern reminds me of some Art Deco/Arts and Crafts/Secession designs. Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It wouldn’t be too hard to extrapolate the design principle onto the missing letters. But I doubt it would result in a font someone would actually want to use. Link to comment

I think, for example, it wouldn’t look out of place on the album cover from some metal/industrial rock band. Or on the book cover of a steampunk fairy tale. Link to comment
