PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAE JNL REGULAR

It seems only fitting that Pleasant Valley Sundae JNL, a typeface re-drawn from hand lettering on a piece of vintage sheet music, should take its name as a pun on another songs title from a different era.

“Pleasant Valley Sunday” was a 1967 hit for the Monkees and was written by the legendary songwriting team of Carole King and the late Gerry Goffin; inspired in turn by a street they’d lived on named Pleasant Valley Way, in West Orange, New Jersey.  The record made it to #3 on the pop charts.
