About the family


What started out as a type design based on the marquee sign from the State Theater in Altoona, PA [which was showcased in the Sept. 17, 1938 issue of Motion Picture Herald] ran into a problem.

By itself, the characters looked like too many similar solid (counterless) Art Deco sans designs. Not wanting to waste a perfectly useful idea, lightning bolts were cut into the letters and it was transformed into a novelty display font.

Lightning Deco JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

About Jeff Levine

Jeff Levine has been in love with lettering since the third grade, when a schoolmate brought a lettering stencil into class. He has worked in both the graphics and music industries, and began his work with digital type via his own site, which hosted over one hundred free dingbat fonts until its retirement in 2009. Although these fonts were experimental at best, Jeff received "thank you" letters from points all over the world for making his designs available. Encouraged by these responses, Jeff decided to set his sights on creating interesting and commercially viable type fonts.
