The title card for the 1940 film "Too Many Husbands" served as the inspiration for Uptown Residence JNL.

Ebbets JNL is a variant of Jeff Levine's Base Runner JNL, with more of a 1930s-1940s feel.

Barricade JNL is Jeff Levine's take on an old favorite that's been around since at least the 1940s.

While watching the 1947 holiday classic “Miracle on 34th Street”, one scene in particular presented a chance to develop a retro type design. ‘Kris Kringle’ suggests to a mother visiting with her child in the Macy’s toy department to try Gimbel’s for a toy she couldn’t find at the store. The news of this behavior reaches Mr. Macy himself, who embraces the practice as a brilliant marketing strategy. A number of departments are then presented with reference books containing competitor ads, and the visual of the cover stating “R.H. Macy & Co. Shopping Guide for the Convenience of Our Customers” shows on screen. The thin, Art Deco sans serif monoline with a few serif-like hooks added onto some characters became the basis for Shopping Guide JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Based on custom design work by DTP Types Limited in 1992 with associated Small Capitals and Old Style Figures.

The unusual hand lettering found on a piece of 1940s sheet music forms the basis for Pencil Pusher JNL.

A freely drawn heading face prepared in 1912 by Lucian Bernhard for Bauer. The typeface enjoys a vogue in Europe.

The Modern Twenty font is a display design with classic Modern characteristics, based on a 1982 design by Ed Benguiat.

The hand-lettered name on a couple of 1940s-era piano course books was the basis for Piano Solo JNL.
