Eckhardt Trilinear JNL was motivated by [and designed from] a pen-drawn alphabet discovered in a 1960 edition of the Speedball ® lettering textbook.
As with many other "sign painter-oriented" typefaces by Jeff Levine, it is called in honor of Jeff's buddy—— the late Albert Eckhardt, Jr. Al ran Allied Signs in Miami, Florida from 1959 till his passing.
