IMITATION is based on the hand-lettered titles of the film Imitation of Life, the 1959 remake directed by Douglas Sirk and starring the actors listed above. The titles resemble the sort of loose-elegant brush script once favored by high-class department stores (Harrod's, Marshall Field, Lord & Taylor, etc.) All lowercase, like the original, with alternate forms of most letters for a more spontaneous feel. |

In response to requests. I've married my lowercase imitation to script caps inspired by ImageLine's "Dance of the Brush" which in turn appears to be have been inspired by the work of Charles Bluemlein. |

Imitation of Life was produced by Ross Hunter, art-directed by Richard H. Riedel, and is available on Universal Home Video. Sirk's campy, quirky films (see also Written on the Wind and All that Heaven Allows) have undergone critical re-evaluation in the last 20 years, influencing directors such as Pedro Almod?>=var (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) and Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven).
