A page from an 1880s type specimen book presented a unique “Barnum”-like design with top horizontal lines much thinner than the bottom ones.

Titled “Ten Line Antique Compressed No. 7”, the design transcends the years; for it’s not only an antique wood type font, but is also reminiscent of the 1960s hippie counterculture movement.

Antique Unique JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
