[Intertitle Nouveau JNL]( Introducing Intertitle Nouveau JNL 2000th Font Release by Jeff Levine Jeff Levine's love affair with lettering started around the third grade. A classmate had with him a Stenso Lettering Guide - an oil board stencil used by anyone to create lettering inexpensively. Fascinated by a device which made such nice letters, numbers, and designs by just tracing the outlines, Jeff immediately became hooked. He tried to collect as many of these stencils as possible, and then "discovered" other lettering devices, rubber stamp printing sets, water-slide decals, gummed letters and numbers, and dry transfer lettering. Jeff was fascinated by letterforms and the many ways you could make them or purchase them. Of course, as a youngster grows up, the interests change, and lettering was set aside for a long time... but a re-emergence of this love for typography came about through several outside forces. The internet introduced Jeff to digital type, and a new curiosity was born. In the meantime, he had become laid off from a job and needed a new direction. Sometimes life forces change, and with those changes, an occasional door opens into a whole new world of possibilities. This was to come further down the road, but not until a period of "experimental" work with digital type. In January of 2006, after previously fooling around with a low-end font creation program and having had a website that offered over 100 free fonts (mostly of the dingbat variety), Jeff Levine was encouraged by fellow font designer (and eventual mentor) Ray Larabie to try his hand at commercial font design and join what was then Bitstream-owned MyFonts. By this time, Jeff had started using Fontographer, but was still learning the ins-and-outs of the program. His initial protest to Ray was that he was more of an artist than type designer and knew nothing about proper type construction, spacing, and kerning. Ray offered to help with the technical end if Jeff came up with the basic fonts. Eventually, Ray taught Jeff many tips and tricks of font design, and it was off to the races. Nonetheless, even a good race can start off slowly. Initially there were only ten designs released and few sales. Gradually, more and more fonts were added to the library. It soon became a challenge to Jeff to find unusual "lost lettering" of the past and create fonts from them. Movie title cards, sheet music, vintage packaging, old lettering stencils, and other classic lettering devices; reinterpreting past typographic favorites, commercial signage of the past - all became inspiration points, and with that a new goal: to average ten font releases per month. The newest release from Jeff Levine Fonts is Intertitle Nouveau JNL, and this is his 2000th release! The source material for this font was a page out of a vintage sign painting instructional book by Samuel Welo. Weloâs "Studio Handbook for Artists and Advertisers" contained dozens of hand-lettered alphabets used as inspiration for both the sign trade and for graphic designers. Intertitle Nouveau JNL was originally an alphabet produced by a rounded lettering nib and was first shown in the 1927 edition (later reprinted in the 1960 edition). It is reminiscent of the lettering used on intertitle cards of the silent film era. “There's a new serif in town.” â Jeff Levine [Shop Intertitle Nouveau JNL]( Want to check out all fonts by Jeff Levine?

[Shop Intertitle Nouveau JNL]( Additional Top Picks of the Week [Dear Dolores]( Dear Dolores by Samuelstype Dear Dolores has had its name from the latin word dolorem, meaning sorrow or grief. From the designer, "When I started working on this display font I found myself trying it out using the latin requiem texts. The capitals somehow sat well with the monumental and solemn words of mourning. The broken hairlines suggested stone cuttings where the fine details had been worn down and obliterated over time and it felt at home in a churchyard or in a monument park." Special Offer - 50% OFF
