Sheet music at the beginning of the 20th Century reflects both the musical and artistic tastes of the times in often colorful ways.

It seemed to be a favorite thing amongst songwriters of that era to come up with very wordy song titles.  The cover of the sheet music for 1907’s “Every Little Bit Added to What You’ve Got Makes Just A Little Bit More” checks in at fourteen words, but the hand lettered title (done in an Art Nouveau style) made it worthy of transposition into a digital type face.

Nouveau Years JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
