The lettering artist that did the lettering for the Saul Bass titles was Art Goodman.
Yes, Robert Trogman reveals as much in the discussion that I linked.
Interesting! I didn’t know that. Maybe the full character set will be called Arty Good Men… if I ever finish (volunteers welcome)

One of my favourite fonts, but was never sure if I could really use it, because I don’t remember if it is freeware. Is it?
You’re free to use it on commercial projects. You’re just not free to distribute it.
Thank you so much for the Hitchcock font. What a huge gift for my font library. You are so generous! My customer was very impressed, as I used it to dramatize our church ad at Easter (Christ’s resurrection).
Thanks again, and, by the way, I love your site. It is informative and educational.
Thank you so much for this Hitchcock font. Ever since I got it, I can’t stop from trying to use it every chance I get. I was just wondering if someone knew where I could find the Gorg font because the link seems to be dead.
Antonio, you can find Gorg here: http://fontazilla.com/fonts.html
Thank you, James. The link in the post is updated.
Hi! Where can I dowload free hitchcock font on internet? I would like use it in a short film with friends.
Many thanks,
Carolyn.
Carolyn – Scroll up. The link is in the article.
I am also a past employee, 78-79, and knew and had nothing but respect for Art both professionally and personally.
The story I got on the hand was a hand grenade during the big war.
I think the hand and the way he would take a new Pilot Point pen and gab into his desk top to trash the point had a lot to do with the finished product. that and porous paper. Sketch small and blow up on the stat camera.
Yes Saul did sign the posters (multiple versions until the signature was just right for each) but the artwork, lettering and feel for so many of these beautiful posters was pure Art.
I doubt seriously you would have a hard time finding anyone who worked with and for Art Goodman who did not love the man.
thanks for sharing the font with us ^^!
Great font. One of my favorites.
Like its predecessor, Gaumont, GAINSBOROUGH is a font that was designed after the hand-lettered titles of an Alfred Hitchcock film. The Lady Vanishes (1938) was produced by Gaumont-British, and is identified as “A Gainsborough Picture” in the opening credits. Another quirky sans serif.
Thanks for sharing a funky font.
Hey there –
Thanks so much for your beautiful Hitchcock font. I’m using it in the masthead over at my blog, Alfred Hitchcock Geek. If you ever get around to producing a more robust version, please let me know!
Cheers,
Joel
