The creator records an ink-derived 1997 release
Coniglio Type credits Joseph Coniglio and records Sublime’s spring-1997 release. The creator describes black water-soluble ink drawings and inspiration from technical illustrator Donald Alling’s LeRoy-template lettering. This source relationship does not establish that the digital font itself was used during wartime.
The 2021 revision should be distinguished from older families
The publisher identifies the 2021 revision as Sublime45, a standalone OpenType font, and distinguishes it from earlier families and TrueType versions. An older multi-style specimen therefore should not be treated as a list of files currently included. Record the edition alongside the source.
Use an original heading to evaluate controlled irregularity
Prepare a short headline, descriptor and practical information line. Let the headline carry personality while the supporting text establishes a stable reading order. Examine repeated letters in the actual wording rather than assuming a handmade origin guarantees natural variation in every occurrence. Compare a plain background with an illustrated one, and keep the version that allows the word shapes to remain easy to recognize.
Retain the edition and separate comparison specimens
Permanent Marker, Josefin Sans and Source Sans 3 are independent specimens, not Sublime45 files. Compare your own heading and supporting copy to explore different degrees of informality. Keep the wording, margins and intended output size consistent. For a project using the actual Coniglio typeface, record the full font name and edition so a later handoff does not silently replace it with an older file or an unrelated Sublime product.
