The sheet music for “Good Night Angel” from the 1937 motion picture “Radio City Revels”, had the movie’s title hand lettered in a free form Art Deco sans serif design.

This has been recreated digitally as Reveler JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.

The cover of the sheet music for the 1931 song “When the Autumn Leaves of Life Begin to Fall” has the song’s title hand lettered in a thin monoline Art Deco Style.

The song itself was co-written by Buddy G. De Sylva, who would go on to be one of the founders of Capitol Records.

Now digitally re-drawn as Autumn Song JNL, the font is available in both regular and oblique versions.

The extra bold version of R. Hunter Middleton’s “Karnak” (produced in 1936 for Ludlow) served as the model for Bookkeeping JNL and is a companion to Bookkeeper JNL (the light weight version of this type design).

Middleton based his “Karnak” family of typefaces on the geometric slab-serif “Memphis”, which was designed in 1929 by Dr. Rudolf Wolf and released originally by the Stempel Type Foundry of Germany.

According to Wikipedia, “Karnak” "was named after the Karnak Temple Complex in Egypt, in reference to the fact that early slab serifs were often called ‘Egyptians’ as an exoticism by nineteenth-century type founders."

Bookkeeping JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

The 1933 sheet music compilation entitled “Kate Smith Memories Song Book” had the singer’s name hand lettered in a bold, spurred serif typeface.

This lettering design became the basis for Radio Show JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Bookkeeper JNL is based on the lighter weight version of R. Hunter Middleton’s ‘Karnak’, produced in 1936 for Ludlow.

“Karnak” itself was based on the geometric slab-serif “Memphis”, designed in 1929 by Dr. Rudolf Wolf and released originally by the Stempel Type Foundry of Germany.

According to Wikipedia, “Karnak” "was named after the Karnak Temple Complex in Egypt, in reference to the fact that early slab serifs were often called “Egyptians” as an exoticism by nineteenth-century type founders."

Available in both regular and oblique versions, Bookkeeper JNL serves well as both a headline and text type face.

French Calligraphic JNL is actually more semi-calligraphic in nature. Its name takes a descriptive liberty because of the sharp, angled pen strokes of the original hand lettered example found in the 1930s publication “100 Alphabets Publicitaires” by M. Moullet.

The design is available in both regular and oblique versions.

French Stencil Moderne JNL is modeled from an alphabet found in the 1930s publication “100 Alphabets Publicitaires” by M. Moullet, and is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Strongly resembling the stencil motif of Futura Black, this French stencil alphabet has enough variations to give it a unique design flavor all its own.
