The Typeface Broadway
The typeface Broadway is an exotic font designed to resemble New York City’s Excitement with a splash of class. The original Broadway was designed in 1927 by Morris Fuller Benton in 1927 and was released shortly after in 1928. It was a font with capitols only and although several spin offs have been created, it’s never strayed too far from remaining its classic excitement and Elegance.
Broadway typeface was held as one of the most favored typefaces all the way until ATF discontinued it in 1954. It was the brought back to the public in 1954.

    Broadway Show Pros And Cons

    By the early 1930’s, the theater and film capital of the United States was separated across the continent. In the Great Depression, artists had to make a choice: stay in New York, where the winters were harsh, and business was sparse, or move to Hollywood; sunny year round, and business and money was everywhere. Which would you choose? It is, of course, a trick question. Movie studios quickly tired to add musicals after The Jazz Singer in 1927, however they lacked the technology to actually make one; the sound was awful and camera movement was minimal. But in 1933, with the production of 42nd Street, Warner Brothers was finally competitive with the Broadway counterparts. Soon after more studios were making their own musicals, such as Paramount, MGM, and RKO.…

    Showtunes In The 60's

    Many of my favorite musicals came out at this time; Phantom of the Opera, Into the Woods, Big River, and Dreamgirls. The showtunes of the 80s were of a huge variety. Broadway began to have something for everyone. With higher technology the orchestra size became smaller, except for Webber shows of course. Many surprising issues were now being shown and actors, even had more passion behind their voice. Broadway was showing issues such as slavery, gender rights, prostitution, and abduction. The eighties were a time for change on the Broadway…

    Shakespeare Globe Theatre Diary

    Today I went to the Globe theatre for the first time. The journey there was very entertaining and picturesque, instead of going by ferry as many people usually do I decided to save my money and do a bit of exercise by walking instead across the London Bridge which was also good. As I came by the Globe theatre I passed the pits where bear baiting and cockfightings were taking place. The streets were full of people, some were pushing to get through others were shouting and quite a few were begging.…

    The Progression of the American Musical

    In the years before Oklahoma! was created, Broadway was dying. New and refreshing musicals were a rare occasion and when an artist tried to create something that he hoped his audience would like, he was sadly disappointed. Broadway was suffering from a lack of what it was revered for: astounding plays and musicals. Its time of glamour and glitz was almost forgotten, and was in need of being saved. That is why Oklahoma! is considered a rebirth of the American musical theatre at the time. It brought Broadway back to life, filling theatre seats with enthusiastic audiences who embraced the changes of this new theatre musical with open arms and made it a legend. Oklahoma! set new standards for classic American theatre by introducing new techniques of presenting the musical to the audience, introducing a new genre of music into the theatre, and strayed away from the usual classic form and structure of a musical that audiences had grown used to. It was a time of change, a time of excitement, and a time of setting standards for the future.…

    Critical Essay on Screwtape Letters

    The Screwtape Letters is a satirical book written by C.S. Lewis with the intent to deliver practical lessons on a person’s daily exercise of his or her faith. The book’s overall theme is “God vs. the devil” or “good vs. evil” in the human experience. In the book, two devils – Screwtape, an elder tempter, and Screwtape’s novice nephew Wormwood -- are in a fight to claim as many souls, or ‘patients,’ as they are referred to in the book, and Screwtape advises Wormwood on the particulars of his job through a series of letters to his nephew, which are then “published” as this book. When Luke Johnson says in his essay “Powers and Principalities: The Devil is No Joke” “When Satan’s power is portrayed in terms of individual temptation and seduction rather than systemic evil and social oppression, when the cosmic battle between the angels of Michael and of Satan pictured by Revelation is reduced to “My guardian angel” and a nemesis imp competing for a moral victory…the way is cleared for devil jokes,” (Johnson 3) he captures what Lewis was trying to deliver…the simplistic and overlooked talents of the devil to win the hearts and minds of people. What will be examined today are the lessons presented by C.S. Lewis in the book The Screwtape Letters, the relevancy to Christian life, and the main point of the book in reference to theology.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Summer Of 1863

    This past month of July has been a handful! The summer of 1863 is definitely a time I will remember for the rest of my life! Yesterday, my siblings, my mother, and I fled away from Manhattan while father stayed back and secured our home and salvaged whatever he could. Many things in our house were wrecked and damaged from the violent draft rioters. Perhaps it was because only white men were drafted. If anything, I believe that they shouldn’t be taking all of their anger out on us black folks. It's not our fault! This was one of the worst rioters the country ever saw! Today, we arrived into Providence, Rhode Island with only our garments on. But, we weren't the only blacks that left. Thousands of blacks quit New York and left! Some folks even…

    Oklahoma ! By Rodgers And Hammerstein Analysis

    Musicals like “The Phantom of the Opera” were really popular amongst the audience and the musical currently has the most number of performances amongst all of the Broadway musicals which shows how favored The Phantom of the Opera is until this day. Another thing that occurred in this era was that film and book adaptations were beginning to be more common. In the 1990’s, Broadway and the Walt Disney Company made an alliance to adapt and recreate films Disney created to musicals and the “Lion King” stood out the most out of all the adaptations. The Lion King, directed by Julie Tamor is the 4th longest running musical and it is the highest grossing musical even beating The Phantom of the Opera. Other musicals adapted from the Disney movies include “Beauty and the Best, Aladdin, Marry Poppins etc. To attract the younger audiences, a musical called Rent was produced which got a lot of popularity and success from the younger audiences, which lead to interesting and unusual musicals. The development of Broadway musicals was incredible in the 20th century as people were able to gain a lot of entertainment and excitement from new genres and adaptations from musicals which is why the 20th century was the golden era of musicals.…

    On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience

    In 1849, Henry David Thoreau disgusted by slavery and the injustices of the Mexican-American War wrote “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience”, where he states that civil disobedience is the deliberate defiance of a law to in order to change government policy or enact social reform. Civil disobedience was a major proponent in the women’s suffrage movement, Mohandas Gandhi’s campaign for independence in India, the civil rights movement in the USA, and the abolition of apartheid in South Africa. However there is a school of thought that sees civil disobedience as a major problem due to it seemingly advocating disorder. In most cases peaceful resistance to certain laws can have a positive impact. Civil disobedience has been the platform in which…

    I just recently inherited my grandfather's coffee shop, The Broadway Cafe. He started it in 1952, but unfortunately the business has been declining over the years. Business is declining, because of how outdated the Cafe is. Now that the Cafe is mine, I am determined to keep the business running by turning the coffee shop back into the hotspot it once was. In order to bring the Cafe up to date with the 21st century, a detailed analysis using Michael Porter’s Five Forces Model will be executed.…
