Bookkeeping

From $55  |  2 Font Family by Jeff Levine Fonts

The extra bold version of R. Hunter Middleton's 'Karnak' (produced in 1936 for Ludlow) served as the model for Bookkeeping JNL and is a companion to Bookkeeper JNL (the light weight version of this type design).

Middleton based his 'Karnak' family of typefaces on the geometric slab-serif 'Memphis', which was designed in 1929 by Dr. Rudolf Wolf and released originally by the Stempel Type Foundry of Germany.

According to Wikipedia, 'Karnak' was a named after the Karnak Temple Complex in Egypt, in reference to the fact that early slab serifs were often called 'Egyptians” as an exoticism by nineteenth-century type founders.”

Bookkeeping JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
