Nouveau Artiste

From $29  |  1 Font Family by Jeff Levine Fonts

A sheet music edition of an early 1900s song entitled 'You Taught Me How to Love You, Now Teach Me to Forget' was hand lettered in a free-form Art Nouveau style that combined varying line widths and character shapes.

This unrestricted style of lettering was popularly embraced and revived by the hippie counterculture of the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s through their rock concert posters, record album covers and tee shirt graphics.

It is now available digitally as Nouveau Artiste JNL.

As a side note, a 1940s reprint of the sheet music was done in a popular metal typeface, which was also redrawn digitally and available as Elite Resort JNL [in both regular and oblique versions].
