Download Nouveau Rose JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine Fonts

Download Nouveau Rose JNL Font Family From Jeff Levine Fonts
Designed by Jeff Levine, Nouveau Rose JNL is an art nouveau font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.


In the July 24, 1915 issue of “Dry Goods Reporter” is a demonstration of hand lettering rendered with the use of a “speed pen”.  Two suggested examples cited in the accompanying article were the Payzant pen and the then-new Speedball pen.

An ornate Art Nouveau serif alphabet is displayed, with some examples having delicate floral elements entwining the letters.

The initial alphabet was auto-traced, then cleaned-up and modified to recreate the core design of the basic (unadorned) letters.  The numerals, punctuation and all additional characters were then made from scratch.

Nouveau Rose JNL is the finished result, and is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Designed by Jeff Levine, Pratfall JNL is an art nouveau and kids font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.


For 138 years, the Milton Bradley Company (of Springfield, Massachusetts) has been the leading producer of board games, toys and educational/instructional materials. The company was acquired by Hasbro in 1984.  It was merged with the also-acquired Parker Brothers in 1991 and became Hasbro Games until both brand ID’s were dropped in 2009.

“The Moving Picture Game” was a 1920s-era board game created by Howard R. Garis (credited as ‘the author of the Uncle Wiggily game’) and capitalized on the still-new motion picture industry.

On top of the storage box is the game’s name – hand lettered in a free-flowing Art Nouveau sans serif that more closely resembles the titles found within animated cartoons or in the ‘bubble letters’ a school child doodles on notebook paper.

Recreated as a digital typeface, Pratfall JNL (named after the slips, trips and falls taken by silent era film comedians) is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Download Clockmaker Font Family From Sudtipos

Download Clockmaker Font Family From Sudtipos
Designed by Alejandro Paul, Clockmaker is an art nouveau font family. This typeface has eight styles and was published by Sudtipos.


Sudtipos is proud to announce the release of Clockmaker, an 8-weight family that takes initial inspiration from typography around the turn of the twentieth century. Clockmaker takes aesthetic references from Victorian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco advertising and typography, taking special influence from John F. Cummings’ all-caps – and never digitized – type design Elandkay. 

Clockmaker is a robust multi-weight family that includes an array of ligatures as well as alternate characters and support for all latin languages. The design process began with developing and modernizing the uppercase letterforms, followed by designing the lowercase and additional weights. Creating a diverse and playful set of uppercase ligatures was an almost endlessly enjoyable task; they are one of Clockmaker’s most charming features. Clockmaker is an impeccable choice for designs requiring a vintage flair such as a luxury liquor labels, restaurant identities, lavish hotels and many other applications where elegance and grace are needed.  

In addition to its historical references, Clockmaker is an homage to my grandfather who was a master craftsman, repairing antique clocks and fine watches with great skill and mathematical precision. Watching him work was fascinating and it has been a joy to remember those quiet and curious moments from my childhood while designing this font.

Download Cloudbuster Font Family From K-Type

Download Cloudbuster Font Family From K-Type
Designed by Keith Bates, Cloudbuster is an art nouveau font published by K-Type.


Cloudbuster is K-Type’s take on the mid twentieth century style of extra condensed slabs/moderns inspired by Imre Reiner’s Corvinus Skyline of 1934.

Unusually, Cloudbuster has a printed-look softness, courtesy of very slightly rounded corners throughout, so it looks a little less harsh than similar typefaces. The font is an imposing display face with elegant, unfussy letterforms and a generous x-height.
