For decades, Samuel Welo’s “Studio Handbook for Artists and Advertisers” was a source of inspiration for sign painters, graphic artists and designers.  In later years, many digital revivals of Welo’s hand lettered typography have been made available.

Western Trail JNL is the latest member of such digital fonts, and is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Around 2018 or 2019, the State of Florida introduced new letter and number characters on its auto plates. 

Inspired by this change, Jeff Levine Fonts offers up a digital version of this lettering named New Car Tag JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions (for those who want a more sporty look).

Some people prefer a rounded ‘zero’ to differentiate between the regular zero and the letter ‘O’.  You can find this alternate character located on both the solid bar and broken bar glyphs.

The hand lettered opening titles from the 1944 Laurel and Hardy comedy “The Big Noise” served as the inspiration for Movie Screen JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Marilka is the little treasure in your typeface collection.

Designed by Anita Jürgeleit, Marilka appears in 4 styles with a broad latin language support, including Vietnamese language. Its eye-catching character is especially suitable for text settings. The beautiful letter shapes also suit headline typography in an outstanding way.

Marilka supports simple open-type features such like sub- and superscript, de- and nominator, ordinal numbers and standard ligatures.

Try Marilka with its free trial version and let yourself be enchanted.

Samuel Welo’s “Studio Handbook for Artists and Advertisers” was a popular book of inspiration for sign painters, graphic artists and designers from the 1920s through the 1960s.  Many digital revivals of Welo’s hand lettered typography have been made available.

Formal Notice JNL is one such revival, and is available in both regular and oblique versions.

My family and I recently moved to a ‘fixer upper’ farm from the 1930’s. It came with a slightly run down barn, 4000 square metres of land and a LOT of redcurrant bushes. I can’t really say that I am overly fond of them. I find them a bit too tart. As a kid, I used to smother them in sugar, but I can’t do that any longer, since I am a responsible dad… ;-)

Redcurrant is a slightly wonky, slightly crazy handmade font. It can be used for book covers or post cards, but feel free to use it for whatever.
Comes with cute little swashes as well.

The American Sign Museum in Cincinnati houses an amazing collection of vintage signage from all kinds of sources and covering many eras of retail advertising.

Someone visiting the museum posted online an image of one particular piece of glass with hand lettering saying “gold leaf” in a bold Art Deco stencil style.

Etched Stencil JNL was inspired by that image and is available in both regular and oblique versions.

A bold, classic wood type newspaper headline was the inspiration for Early Edition JNL. 

The source of the type design was actually a dummy newspaper with the headline “Thursby and Archer Murders Linked” [which was used in the 1941 film noir classic “The Maltese Falcon” featuring an all-star cast headed by Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet].

Early Edition JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

An interesting hand lettered example of Art Deco lettering (minus the letter ‘L’) was spotted on Pinterest and served as the inspiration for Deco Sketch JNL. 

Because there was no attribution as to the age or source of the alphabet, it can only be surmised that it was a scan from a 1930s or 1940s source.

The original showed many of the irregularities of pen lettering, and had rounded terminals.  The digital version has been redrawn more uniformly with flat terminals.

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