Type Tiles JNL Oblique

Designed by Jeff Levine, Type Tiles JNL is a novelty font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.

Type Tiles JNL is based on a ‘completed’ version of ‘Alpha-Blox’ by American Type Founders, circa 1944.  The capitals, lower case and numerals shown in the sample sheet put out by ATF depicted type made with five-high blocks comprised of modular units spaced two points apart.

These units could be combined in varying ways to create custom type of varying heights and widths and was available for purchase in both linear (multi-line) and reverse (white on black) formats.

Using the ‘reverse’ model shown on the sample sheet, all of the characters were re-created digitally, and missing punctuation, foreign characters and other glyphs found in a basic computer font were drawn and added. The ‘J’ and ‘T’ in the type sample had truncations, so a more complete character was created for each of those letters.

For those wanting an unbroken string of words or blank end caps, there is a double column space on the vertical bar key. A single column space is located on the broken bar key for shorter end caps.

Type Tiles JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
