Hippie Freak JNL Font

Publisher: Jeff Levine Fonts

What does a 1932 motion picture about a love affair in between a circus' trapeze artist and a sideshow "little individual" involve the 1960s counter-culture? They both share some commonness.

The title card for Tod Browning's "Freaks" inspired the lettering design for Hippie Freak JNL. It remains in a retro design that was welcomed by the youth motion that had its center in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco.

Circus performers with abnormality irregularities were displayed in what was described as "freak shows"; while young men with long hair and beards who looked for peace, love and an end to the war in Vietnam were typically described as "hippie freaks".

As the stating goes "the more things change, the more they stay the very same."
