Developed by Jeff Levine, Heller Sans JNL is an art deco and show sans font family. This typeface has 2 styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.

Heller Sans JNL is based on the main letterforms of a speculative alphabet developed by Steven Heller; kept in mind author of over 170 books on style and visual culture. Some modifications were made in turning his design into a digital font.

In his own words, here is the background to this typeface:

.

" I just recently recovered this from the scrap heap. It is a yellowing photostat of my first and just typeface style (1969-70). Total folly! At the time I was smitten by Art Moderne lettering. I called it "Klaus Boobala Bold" since I liked the K and B.

.

I've lost the letters S through Z, which were made. The letters were drawn with compass, Techno pen (that often clogged). along with a triangle and T-square. The inline and summary made no real sensible sense.

.

I based the design, in part, on Kabel, Avant Garde and it was a product of whatever I might accomplish with those tools. The caps-only alphabet was photographed and produced as a film negative that was cut in foot-long strips and entwined to fit on a Typositor reel. Regretfully, the negatives made for the font were too breakable and the splice snapped apart in the Typositor.

.

I dealt with it for well over a month and utilized the face only when. I recognized with this effort, thus many other times I tried different obstacles, that type design-- certainly mechanical drawing-- was not my forte."

Heller Sans JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
