Piolin
So new. So different.
Piolin is a memorable display font inspired by the circus universe. This typeface, which has the same name of the most renowned brazilian clown, is full of magical tricks like several characters alternates, swashes and discretionary ligatures. Please, explore the opentype features included in this typeface at their best and go deep inside the circus imaginary.
Piolin is suitable for brand identities, book design, editorial design, campaigns, exhibitions and other promotional materials that seek a special flavour to stand out an astonishing message. If used in big sizes, Piolin reveals its marvellous details which make us feel bewitched by how carefully it is designed.
Feel the magic up close!

Download Seahawk JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
The 1939 sheet music for “Sea Dreams” had its title hand lettered in an unusual Art Deco style that employed many unusual character shapes and widths within the font design.
A teardrop-shaped ‘D’, a slightly off-kilter ‘S’ and a number of other interesting variations became the model for Seahawk JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
The term “Seahawk” is another name for an Osprey.
Download Casual Deco JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
The hand lettered sans serif title on the1931 sheet music for “(Potatoes are Cheaper-Tomatoes are Cheaper) Now’s the Time to Fall in Love” presented another opportunity to create a typeface from the wealth of unusual alphabets found on the covers of vintage and antique song sheets.
However, it seems that even as late as the 1930s, song writers had the urge to pen long-worded titles for their musical compositions. This thirteen word verbal excursion became the model for Casual Deco JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
Download Silly Behavior Font Family From Jeff Levine
Silly Behavior JNL is based on a hand lettered alphabet found within the pages of the vintage lettering book “100 Alphabets Publicitaires” (100 Advertising Alphabets).
The fun, haphazard arrangement of the letters and numbers convey a casual approach to titling.
Download Fine Food Font Family From Jeff Levine
A 1942 photograph showing the exterior of the famous Hollywood restaurant Sardi’s and it’s unusually lettered sign was the inspiration for Fine Food JNL.
Classically Art Deco, the Sardi’s sign had an ‘S’ looking like an inverted ‘J’ with a flat tail, a traditional ‘A’ replaced by a triangle and the ‘R’ composed of a ‘D’ with a diagonal extension.
These elements were balanced against more traditional [but complementary] characters to retain the novel charm of the original signage.
Fine Food JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
Download Postmodern Moderne Font Family From Jeff Levine
First published in 1938, Letters and Lettering by Paul Carlyle and Guy Loring was a textbook on lettering examples and how to do them. On one of the pages was found a solid black (counterless) Art Deco sans serif design that in its many variations so typified the era.
The example shown in that book served as the model for Postmodern Moderne JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
Download Dance Routine Font Family From Jeff Levine
The hand lettered title on the cover of the 1932 sheet music for “I Wish We Could Dance Forever” was the inspiration for Dance Routine JNL.
This bold Art Deco sans serif design is now available in both regular and oblique versions.
Download Bernhard Signature Font Family From Jonahfonts
I started to work at the Bernhard Studio in 1952 to 1959 in New York. I helped with some type designs and many other projects, this two tiered signature was added on all of Bernhard’s art that was produced in the past and in his later years. In the 50’s I thought Bernhard’s Gothic face was quite a bit outdated but as you may know it has become one of todays most used faces. His signature is based on his Bernhard Gothic Font.
With todays computer technology I have digitized the caps and added lower case glyphs with lower ascenders and other slight changes.
Download Garment Bag Stencil JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
Searching the internet for interesting type ideas leads one to many unusual items for sale online.
An antique, hand-cut metal stencil from France with the word “Bagagens” [luggage] provided a condensed Art Deco design in a semi-stencil format (some solid letters, others with traditional ‘breaks’ within the characters). The digital version of the type style has a more traditional stencil character set.
Garment Bag Stencil JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
Download Good Sport JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
Good Sport JNL has nothing to do with any of the major sports activities such as baseball, football, basketball or soccer.
Instead, the typeface gets its name from the sport of camping, as the lettering was spotted on an image of an old ad for the Colonial Forest-Master boy’s pocket knife.
Good Sport JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
Download Cover Letter JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
The handmade title on the cover for the 1939 edition of “A Wand’ring Minstrel” [from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado”] was rendered with a round nib lettering pen in an Art Deco style.
This type design is now available as Cover Letter JNL in both regular and oblique versions.
However, the font’s name is a bit of a pun, as it has nothing to do with cover letters, but rather the lettering found on the cover of the sheet music.
Download Department Store JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine
Amongst a number of items for sale in an online auction was a font of metal type featuring a thin, condensed serif font with decidedly Art Deco styling.
This was the inspiration for Department Store JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
