Likely inspired by the wildly popular Dom Casual typeface by Peter Dombrezian in 1951, Filmotype Arthur was introduced in the early 1950s as a condensed upright sho-card brush script for narrow applications where economy and style were paramount to the design while retaining legibility and easy readability.

Filmotype Arthur 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.
