Fancy Free JNL was developed by Jeff Levine and published by Jeff Levine. Fancy Free JNL includes 2 styles and family bundle choices. p > Up till the late 1920s, it was a popular practice in American songwriting to utilize African Americans as the subject of structures using denigrating styles, words and even overstated character illustrations on the covers of the published sheet music.

One such example of what was considered 'entertainment' for its time was a piece entitled 'Little Black Me'.

While this now socially and ethically unacceptable piece of forgettable tripe is collected by some only for the historic paperwork of the times they showed, one excellent 'positive' came out of this unfavorable chapter of our nation's musical heritage:

The beautiful floral ornamented letters in the song's title has yielded Fancy Free JNL.

Originally hand-lettered on an arc, these spurred Roman letters have been re-drawn, and are provided in both the regular design and a companion version with the ornamentation eliminated for lettering that is less elaborate.
