A 1942 photograph showing the exterior of the famous Hollywood restaurant Sardi’s and it’s unusually lettered sign was the inspiration for Fine Food JNL.
Classically Art Deco, the Sardi’s sign had an ‘S’ looking like an inverted ‘J’ with a flat tail, a traditional ‘A’ replaced by a triangle and the ‘R’ composed of a ‘D’ with a diagonal extension.
These elements were balanced against more traditional [but complementary] characters to retain the novel charm of the original signage.
Fine Food JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Download Private Eye JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
From 1958 to 1964, one of ABC-TV’s popular shows was the detective series “77 Sunset Strip”.
Based in Los Angeles, the fictional detective agency was located next door to Dino’s Lodge, (partly owned by Dean Martin and actually located at 8532 Sunset). It was originally known as the Alpine Lodge.
The adjacent building where Stuart Bailey and Jeff Spencer’s private detective service was located in fact housed a popular modeling agency. The ‘77’ address did not exist outside of the realm of the series.
However, a wonderful sign with Art Deco-influenced lettering graced the set (on the wall of the office foyer) saying “Bailey & Spencer Private Investigators Suites 101-102”.
A screen capture of this sign served as the working model for Private Eye JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Download Sign and Display JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
Sign and Display JNL is a long-overdue companion font to 2009’s Sign and Poster JNL.
The original design models were Art Deco influenced die-cut cardboard letters and numbers manufactured by the Duro Decal Company of Chicago. Square in shape with rounded corners,
the thick cardboard letters were used for making show-cards and other display signage.
Subsequently, Duro used the same style of lettering to manufacture water-applied decals for boat identification and other uses.
It was a set of these decals (with a black outline and yellow interior) that inspired the outline typeface Sign and Display JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Download Elipses Font Family From Lián Types
It all began with an ellipse.
Like an artist who goes from a pictorical logic to a more abstract one, in Elipses geometry is stripped of any distractive or ornamental detail. The font is naked and it shows that it does not need complex shapes or decisions in order to be very attractive.
The font is a compendium of ellipses and stems, with a didone 'pensiero'. It also gets some inspiration from the art-deco letters and architecture, due to obvious reasons. Geometry at its best.
Elipses will be useful for magazines, books, ads, or any piece of design that needs elegant letters.
Note about the styles
The styles named "Alt" (from Alternative) have their swashes with less loops. Use them if you are more into naked geometry.
Apart from many alternates and ligatures, I've included some different sized glyphs in all the styles so you can also play on the rhythm!
Have fun!
