Designed for headlines and slogans, it was one of several typefaces inspired by brush script created in the late 1920s and early 1930s as hand-lettering went back in style. The standard version was followed up in 1932 by the bolder Block-Signal and the lighter Script-Signal. The latter was suitable for slightly longer pieces of copy. 1934 saw the release of Deutsch-Signal, based on German handwriting.
The typeface was used in creating the masthead of Signal, a Nazi magazine.
