SIGN SANS JNL

The original source of design for Sign Sans JNL was an image online of an old New York drinking establishment called the Lenox Lounge.

The metal channels encasing the neon had an unusual “feel” to some of the letters.  While the original E,G and U of the sign looked ‘interesting’, they didn’t quite fit the font’s layout.

Those letters were scrapped for more traditional versions of them.
