The title card for Tod Browning's 'Freaks' inspired the lettering style for Hippie Freak JNL. It remains in a retro style that was embraced by the youth motion that had its center in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco.
Circus entertainers with birth problem abnormalities were displayed in what was described as 'freak programs'; while young men with long hair and beards who sought peace, love and an end to the war in Vietnam were frequently referred to as 'hippie freaks'.
As the saying goes 'the more things change, the more they stay the same'.
