1930's / 1940's Fonts

Lettering from this period was heavily influenced by music and the Art Deco movement. While decorative serif styles were still in use, the scrollwork and embellishments that marked the early 1900's were now considered old fashioned and passé. Sans serif lettering became more popular than ever before as artists began pushing the boundaries of letter design with extreme thick and thins and minimalistic curved lines. Showcard writer Alf Becker was in his heyday and released his 100 Alphabets book in 1941, which continues to inspire both sign artists and font designers today (as evidenced by several fonts depicted below). Can't decide? I've personally compiled a package of 30's and 40's fonts for you.
