Latin music was all the rage in the United States from the 1930s through the 1950s and songs with a “South of the Border” or “Old Mexico” theme were plentiful.

The 1940 sheet music for “Make Love with a Guitar” evoked the idea of serenading one’s lovely lady on horseback while strumming the guitar…at least if you went by the by the illustration under the song’s name.

As the hand lettered title was rendered in an Art Deco design, it became the basis for Jazz Guitar JNL [which seemed a more befitting name], and is available in both regular and oblique versions.

Looking for an awesome Valentine’s Day font, wedding font or baby shower font? Lovebeat is the perfect font to celebrate the important feelings of your heart in advertising and web design, packaging and poster design.

Lovebeat lets your typography truly feel the heartbeats. The typeface contains a broad latin language support as well as extended numerals and fractions.

Muggy Feet is my handpainted and layered font.  Mix the five different layers for realistic looking results. What makes it even more realistic is that the font uses “contextual alternates”, which means that every letter of Muggy Feet has 5 different versions. Also, try to play around with the transparency of each layer of Muggy Feet.
Muggy Feet is ready for your invitation, poster, bookcover, packaging or signs

Naftera font family has been designed for Graviton Font Foundry by Pablo Balcells in 2019. It is a mechanical, geometric sans serif typeface with display swashed characters and soft rounded endings that provide a trong but refined aesthetic. Naftera has been conceived to be most suitable for logos, headlines and display design pieces as well as short length text blocks.

Naftera consists of 10 styles, 8 of which containing small caps and glyph coverage for several language and 2 of which are free.

The cover of the 1904 sheet music from the Tibetan comic opera “The Forbidden Land” had the title hand lettered in an unusual Art Nouveau style.

Mostly squared with rounded corners, many of the characters twisted, turned and extended in ways that took on the look of the Far East.

This became the design model for Nouveau Moderne JNL, which is available in regular and oblique versions.
