NEWSREEL FILM JNL

Designed by Jeff Levine, Newsreel Film JNL is a display sans font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.

An ad carried in a 1919 edition of Moving Picture World for Hearst News had some of the ad copy hand lettered in a wide sans serif design with slight Art Nouvueau influences.

This is now available as Newsreel Film JNL in both regular and oblique versions.

Hearst Metrotone News produced silent newsreels for the Fox Film Corp. (the precursor to 20th Century Fox) from 1919 through 1934.  In 1929 they introduced sound newsreels, but left Fox in 1934 to align with MGM.

Because William Randolph Hearst often created controversy, and because moviegoers in 1936 even booed the name “Hearst” when it appeared on screen, the name of the newsreels was changed to News of the Day in 1936. The series remained under that name until Hearst’s last newsreels were released in 1967.
