About ECKHARDT BOLD JNL Font
Eckhardt Bold JNL continues a series of sign painter-inspired type designs and is named in honor of the late Al Eckhardt, a talented sign man who was a good friend of Jeff Levine for about 18 years until his passing.
The font is available in both regular and oblique versions and was inspired by an example found in the 1928 edition of E.C. Mattthewsâ âHow to Paint Signs and Shoâ Cardsâ.
Both squat and wide for maximum use in wall and window applications, the original name for the design is âHeavy Plugâ. Plug was the sign painterâs term at the time for describing this type of letter form.
