Designed by Jeff Levine, Air Circus JNL is a display sans and stencil font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts . Air Circus JNL A 1930s advertising poster for the Inman Brothers Flying Circus offered up an interesting hand lettered Art Deco design that’s a cross between both squared and rounded character shapes. Because of it’s ‘futuristic look’, the resulting type style can also lend itself to 1970s and 1980s retro projects as well as those from the 1930s and 1940s. Now a digital font, Air Circus JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Designed by Jeff Levine, Baggage Claim JNL is a stencil font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts . Baggage Claim JNL Sometimes type designs are set aside as one project takes priority over another and occasionally it becomes overlooked.  One such example is a set of extra bold, sans serif stencil characters drawn out in 2017. Regrettably, as much time has passed, no backstory can be applied to this typeface.  It was checked against existing releases in the Jeff Levine Fonts library and didn’t seem to have been re-worked for any subsequent release. With this in mind, Baggage Claim JNL makes its belated appearance and is available in both regular and oblique versions. Baggage Claim JNL Download Now View Gallery

Designed by Jeff Levine, Maintenance Stencil JNL is a stencil font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts . Maintenance Stencil JNL In the opening scenes of the 1938 Three Stooges comedy “Tassels in the Air” the Stooges are working as maintenance men inside an office building.  Their immediate job requirement is to paint the tenants’ business names on the corresponding office doors with pre-cut stencils.  Of course, they get it all wrong.
