Lettering artist in New York, 1891–1944. In Script and Manuscript Lettering, a booklet published by the Higgins Ink Company of Brooklyn in the 1940s, Bluemlein showed 32 script alphabets based on signatures. Many of these were made into typefaces, for photo and digital typesetting, see especially the Charles Bluemlein Script Collection by Ale Paul (Sudtipos, 2004) which covers all 32 styles.
