Designed by Jeff Levine, Nouveau Theme JNL is an art nouveau font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.
As long as there’s been movie theaters, those establishments became the perfect hideaway for couples who wanted to kiss, hug and snuggle without the watchful eyes of disapproving parents or the pesky attention of younger siblings.
Such was evident in the [13 word] title of the 1919 composition “Take Your Girlie to the Movies (If You Can’t Make Love at Home)”.
On the sheet music for this song, it is hand lettered in the Art Nouveau fashion of the time by a round nib pen, and made a perfect candidate to be redrawn as a digital typeface.
The end result is Nouveau Theme JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
