An ad in the April 19, 1919 edition of Motion Picture News for the (now lost) silent drama “Josselyn’s Wife” featured some wonderfully stylized Art Nouveau hand lettering.

Primarily a condensed character set with rounded serifs, there are a number of letters that take liberties in both width and character shape.  Adding to this, [mostly vertical] parallel lines are cut through the characters to create a “striped’ type of “double engraved’ effect.

Silent Drama JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
