This font is not a historical one, in spite of the fact that it was inspired by the Cancellaresca pattern (look at 1491 Cancellaresca and 1610 Cancellaresca).
We have created this one as a fantasy script for a decorative use, like for invitation, greetings, menus, posters and so on...

This font was inspired by the paint brushed letters in use in the 60 - 70s for protest slogans tagged on the cities walls. In those days, we didn't commonly use aerosols like today, so we used paint brushes, with paint or tar cans, drew the letters, and ran away quickly !
Capitals and lower case have the same size, and a lot of alternates characters or ligatures allows the user to vary each letter (until tree alternates for single letters) in each word of a text . Likewise, the words may be easily underscored or intersected by a few stains looking like paint spots, subtituted to the following standards characters: [greater], [less], [dagger], [backslash], [bullet], and [underscore].
family of 2 fonts from GLC
This family was created inspired from two French (one so common and a very rare large one) “toy print” boxes, named Le petit imprimeur, with rubber stamp characters from the 1920’s. The big difference from our 1920 My Toy print is that this font is complete, with upper and lower cases, accented, complete punctuation and some symbols. The doubly of each usual character in each style (A-Z/a-z and numerals) allow to give a rich and variously uneven appearance, looking like the results of the real use of those old rubber stamps, with bad kernings and alignement. The font is containing West (including Celtic), Central, East European, Turkish and Cyrillic characters.
1913 Typewriter Carbon is the bold version of GLC foundry’s 1913 Typewriter. It is available in two styles: Normal, and Underlined (Bold).

With inkjet printers, it may be used the economic or draft option with a good result too.
