Publisher: Jeff Levine FontsThe hand cut wood type which was the motivation for Wood Nouveau JNL creates images of the artistic duration in between the Victorian Period and 1920s Moderne, in addition to the hippie counterculture active in the later part of the 20th Century.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, rock posters, fliers, store signs and other printed ephemera of "the love generation" obtained heavily from the Art Noveau design in both art and typography. An Alphonse Mucha-inspired flower lady might adorn a performance poster that also integrated both vintage wood type and hand-lettered elements.
Although this specific type style may well have actually preceded the actual start of the Nouveau period, the softer, rounder lines of each character lent themselves well to this emerging style.
