Mimeograph Template JNL was designed by Jeff Levine and published by Jeff Levine. Mimeograph Template JNL contains 2 styles and household bundle options. p > Prior to ink jet and printer; before photocopier, the main method to make multiples of anything not provided by printing press was by a mimeograph maker or spirit duplicator.

The mimeograph used a porous drum which tattooed the behind of a waxed stencil sheet. Unlike standard stencils which have eliminated locations that are straight tattooed or painted, a mimeo stencil has the location to be printed scratched away by removing the wax covering with a stylus.

The resulting image enables the ink from the drum to seep through the sheet and transfer to the blank paper.

Based on a plastic lettering guide when manufactured by the A.B. Dick Company of Chicago, Mimeograph Template JNL is offered in regular and oblique versions.

Albert Blake Dick, the business's creator, coined the term 'mimeography'.

The typeface's character shapes follow the routed letters of the template, total with rounded terminals. An earlier font style release [created with flat terminals and some alternate characters] is readily available as Interoffice Memo JNL.
