At it’s customers request, Filmotype developed a narrower version of its Filmotype Arthur font in the early 1950s as an extra-condensed upright bold sho-card brush script for very narrow setting applications where economy and style were paramount to the design while retaining legibility and easy readability.

Filmotype Ace was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character complement, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a host of alternate characters in dynamic OpenType format.
