Hippie Comics JNL
Hippie Comics JNL Hippie Comics JNLHippie Comics JNL

Designed by Jeff Levine, Hippie Comics JNL is a hand display and novelty font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.


In the 1920 edition of “How to Paint Signs and Sho’ Cards” by E. C. Matthews is an example of what is termed “poster lettering” that is so free form and unusual it borders on the eccentric.

Resembling lettering more commonly found in 1960s “underground comics” of the Hippie generation rather than of the Art Nouveau period, it oddly enough works well in both styles.

This novelty typeface is now available as Hippie Comics JNL in both regular and oblique versions.

I love fridays

Designed by Jakob Fischer, I love fridays is a hand display and hand drawn font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Bogstav.


Who doesn’t love Fridays? For many people it is the end of the working week and the start of the weekend. What’s not to like? I tried to put all that great vibe into this font - it is charming and clumsy and ready for a party…just like my Fridays…ehh…my Fridays are actually quite simple - no parties or staying out till early morning…been there, did that…now I love my Fridays, just the way they are! :)

Last Tango JNL

Designed by Jeff Levine, Last Tango JNL is an art deco font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.


The hand lettered title found on the 1924 sheet music for the tango “Sentimiento Gaucho” (“Sentimental Gaucho”) offered a different take on the thick-and-thin lettering that permeated the late 1920s through the Art Deco age.

A ‘slash’ or ‘swipe’ is cut through the characters (similar to “Directa JNL” – another take on this type of design).

Last Tango JNL is the digital recreation of this novelty lettering and is available in both regular and oblique versions.
