Bandleader JNL was modeled from the hand-lettered title on a piece of sheet music called 'Largo', which indicates 'slow pace'. Since the names 'Largo' and 'Tempo' were currently taken, what other musical theme would fit?
The lettering remains in an Art Deco style, and Big Band was all the rage of the Art Deco period; therefore 'Bandleader'. Sometimes the road to naming a font style takes on numerous twists and turns but the end outcome is constantly pleasing.
