ABOUT THE NEW BLAZING STAR PRESS
All of our Civil War-era historical fonts were copied entirely from ORIGINAL LETTERS scanned from type specimen, business directories, song sheets, broadsides, and advertisements, printed between 1848 and 1867 gathered from museums, private collections, and the Library of Congress. No cheap work done, but instead with a neatness not to be excelled in the Typographical Art.
We neither use humbug, false pretences, nor wear laurels won by competitors.
Our fonts have been used on books from major publishing houses, including Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Penguin Random House, Vintage, Yale University Press, University of Pennsylvania Press, and Louisiana State University Press, as well as magazines such as the Civil War Times and Hallowed Ground.
Interested parties are respectfully invited to call and examine additional specimens at: www.newblazingstarpress.com
The proprietor is determined that this establishment shall not be surpassed by any other.
