Beware The Neighbors is based on “Personality Script”, a rough alphabet originally drawn by Ross F. George, and published in one of the Speedball series of lettering catalogs that ran from 1935 to 1948.

The design is something of a minor classic, and several foundries have recreated digital fonts based on it. However, mostly of these interpretations are very “geometric”, formed using straight lines. Intellecta preferred to create a new interpretation using smoother, curved lines to create a creepy appearance. Also included are several ligatures and OpenType stylistic alternates.

This version also has an extended character set for use in Central as well as and West European countries, plus Baltic, Turkish and Romanian.

Check out Intellecta’s Clarvoyant for another creepy experience based on lettering from old Speedball catalogs.
