1 / 5About DESERT SANDS JNL Font
The February 19, 1923 issue of The Film Daily contained an ad for Mack Sennett’s new Ben Turpin comedy entitled “The Shriek of Araby”. No doubt this was a spoof of the popular Rudolph Valentino film “The Sheik”.
The ad tries to emulate Mideastern or Arablic typography via a standard Western alphabet. It somewhat captures the flavor, but its free-form hand lettering comes off as more of a novelty type style.
This is now available digitally as Desert Sands JNL in both regular and oblique versions.
