DE LOUISVILLE tuscan, from Sentinel Type, designed by James Arboghast

Echoing the Victorian craze for lavish decoration, De Louisville captures the antique flavor of a music parlor with refreshing cartoon ambiance. Cute, bubbly curves evoke strawberries & cream, a frothy head of beer, or the lace trimmings of a fine young lady's skirt, in a light-hearted display face designed for contemporary use.

De Louisville is ideal for confectionary, 19th century Americana, toys and feminine subjects .

Getting the best from De Louisville

De Louisville is designed to work at large sizes in print on a suitable photo or background. On-screen, where resolution is typically 96 dots per inch or less, the thin strokes have a habit of vanishing. To solve this problem & extend the font's useful range (both in print and onscreen) a bold version is provided -- the same character silhouettes as De Louisville Regular with double thickness strokes.

Print typography: (600 - 2400 DPI)
* High resolution gives the best results,
* High quality laser, dye transfer, or film/litho process will do a finer job
* For a bubble-jet printer use hard-surfaced or glossy paper & maximum resolution
* For very small sizes in print (6 to 18 points) DL bold is often a good choice

On-screen typography: (72 - 96 DPI)
* 36 points or larger use De Louisville Regular
* 36 points - 24 points use De Louisville Bold
* At 20 points or less you should consider using another, less contrasty typeface instead of De Louisville; the bold version is not designed to work below 20 points on-screen.

Wearables & screen printed t-shirts:
* use DeLouisville Bold

Generally:
* Experiment with font & background colors for the sharpest results
