Eastport JNL is the interpretation by Jeff Levine Fonts’ of the classic Stymie Extra Bold (a/k/a Stymie Black), designed in 1931 for American Type Founders by Morris Fuller Benton.

Stymie and the somewhat similar Beton were both derivations of the popular European typeface Memphis.

Eastport JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

You may already found out that “Simple Mints” is a wordplay. The font itself is playful as well - the 5 different versions of each letter makes sure that your text is lively and playful!
Inspiration comes from both grafitti and comics…and my usual kind of sloppy handwriting - a mix that makes a great impression! :)

At Comicraft we’re always looking for new ways to help our loyal customers get more bang for their buck. There are times when when the big financial instituitons turn their backs on the average working Joe, but that’s why we want to help you restructure your finances, renogotiate your commitment to font purchases… We’re here to help you stretch your dollars a little further.

With that in mind, our latest release is twice as wide as our usual fare and will help you make it to the end of the month in ways other fonts won’t! It’s not so much a bailout or a refi… It’s more of a credit extension. I wonder what we should call it?

Inspired by a retro Art Deco poster as well as many of the true classic Art Deco type designs of the 1930s and 1940s, Deco Revisited JNL is a bold, black, stencil-influenced design with no counters.

Although being a contemporary design, its use in any retro project will truly evoke a feeling for the “streamline” era.

Deco Revisited JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

The Vampires have risen from their graves! Innocent young virgins (also goats, sheep, sheep dogs, cows and other sundry farmyard animals) may not see out the night!

We waited to unleash our latest release until the midnight hour, so grab your wooden stakes, silver bullets, crossbows, slingshots and any supernatural weaponry you may have at hand. Garlic capsules and Holy Bibles are also recommended!

DUSKTILLDAWN has been exhumed, lightly dusted in dry earth and exsanguinated for your convenience. Bury your tombstones in Gothic Chic with a font that may very well be worth dying for. We cannot guarantee you will come back to life however.

Worn and torn, dry and cracked, resistant to wind and rain… the skin of the elephant is a thing of dry beauty and ancient wisdom…

During the gold rush, the phrase “Seeing the elephant” became synonymous with the high cost of each prospector’s dreams and hopes—- not only the prospect of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice in California but also the possibilities of encountering misfortune on the journey. Like the circus elephant, gold was an exotic sight, and seeking it was an unequalled experience, the adventure of a lifetime.

Now we’ve created a font much like the skin of an Elephant, and Adventure, Excitement and Really Wild Things are available in the pages of the comic book of the same name, ELEPHANTMEN.

Boy, they’re everywhere. One of your neighbors is probably one of them, Freaking super-heroes (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah) are more ubiquitous in cities these days than Simon Cowell is on talent shows. Notice how that guy on the subway—the one with the boy scout haircut?—see how he keeps his shirt buttoned all the way up? He’s not sweating either… that’s ’cause he’s probably from some dead planet that exploded twenty years ago. His REAL parents wrapped him in blankets and, when he turned 18, his Ma on Earth turned those same blankets into Long Underwear for her foster son. He’s probably wearing his long underwear right now. That’s why he’s smiling at you through his horn rimmed glasses. He thinks you don’t know. Thinks he’s special. Thinks he’s a super-hero (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah). Ain’t that Super?

Between twilight and daybreak it is said that the dark side of the human psyche eclipses the sun that shines from the depths of our souls. Certainty turns to doubt, clarity becomes confusion, man turns into wolf, the dead wake, vampires seduce the young are restless and milk boils over on the stove.

Those that seek only to bathe in the light of a romantic new moon often end their tragic lives soaked in nothing other than their own blood, and the milk spilt on the stovetop has no one left to cry over it. There are fifty shades of grey during those hours after sunset and I think just as many in my porridge this morning.

Yes, okay, I admit it, I spoiled the milk! This porridge tastes like it was left in a graveyard overnight. Death warmed over. Gothic and lumpy. Just like the two weights of this font.
