Vintage film footage taken while driving around San Francisco in the early-to-mid 1950s showed many business locales around the City by the Bay.  At one point, the camera passes by an Owl Drug Store which had wrap-around signage in a san serif style that (with it’s stylized, squared lettering) is a cross between Art Deco and the Techno designs of the 1980s.

This type design is now available as Dispensary JNL, in both regular and oblique versions.
