The classic, sleek Art Deco lines of this font makes it an all-purpose design for any headline needs.

However, if one looks closely at each design, they will see variations of line thickness, angles and even individual character design. One such variation is Stagehand JNL, based on a set of wood type and now presented in digital form.
