Frank Lloyd Wright, renowned for his iconic architectural designs, also created distinctive hand-lettered typefaces that appeared on his architectural drawings. These letterforms, characterized by unique features like nearly meeting arcs in 'O's and double crossbars in 'A's and 'H's, were integral to his holistic artistic vision. The article traces how these lettering styles have been digitized into fonts, starting with Eaglefeather in 1993, designed by David Siegel in partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, followed by other typefaces like Exhibition, Terracotta, and Midway released by P22 Foundry, each drawing from different Wright projects.
