Occasionally a type design is started - then set aside for whatever reason - before eventually being completed.  More often than not, the original source material is forgotten, so proper attribution cannot be made.

Such is the case for a hand lettered Art Nouveau alphabet likely found within the pages of an early Speedball lettering book from around the 1920s.

This playful and casual design is now digitally reproduced as Nouveau Signage JNL, and is available in both regular and oblique versions.
