Filmotype Honey was released by Filmotype in the mid-1950s as part of its handlettered script styles and it gained wildly popular use with many corporations throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

Filmotype Honey was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character compliment, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a large set of automatic alternate contextual characters and ligatures to allow flawless typesetting in dynamic OpenType format.
