The 1930s-era French alphabet collection entitled “La Lettre Dans le Decor & La Publicite Modernes” (which somewhat translates to “The Letter in Modern Decor and Advertising”) has page after page of attractive and unusual type interpretations.

One particular Art Deco design puts an entirely different spin on the classic “rounded terminals and geometric design”.  Unusual character shapes add a fresh new/old take to the “Streamline Movement”.

The aptly-named Deco Francois JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
