About the family


The July 21, 1945 issue of Showman's Trade Review carried an ad for a newsreel-style World War II film short called "The Fleet That Came to Stay" with a teaser headline of "Kamikazes".

That single word headline was lettered in a bold, free form sans and served as the basis for Newsreel Report JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Because of the novelty shape of the characters, the font is spaced and kerned very tight.

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.
