Narrow Deco

From $55  |  2 Font Family by Jeff Levine Fonts

The hand lettered word 'puzzles' from the box cover of a 1940s set of metal 'connected” puzzle pieces manufactured by the A.C. Gilbert Company was the initial typographic model, but some additions and changes were made.

Instead of the right side of the 'P' being a semi-circle, it was changed to a more conservative ''squared' look. After drawing out all of the necessary glyphs, the overall height of the characters was extended to make the letters and numbers appear taller and narrower.

The end result is Narrow Deco JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
