Designed by Jeff Levine, Last Tango JNL is an art deco font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.
The hand lettered title found on the 1924 sheet music for the tango “Sentimiento Gaucho” (“Sentimental Gaucho”) offered a different take on the thick-and-thin lettering that permeated the late 1920s through the Art Deco age.
A ‘slash’ or ‘swipe’ is cut through the characters (similar to “Directa JNL” – another take on this type of design).
Last Tango JNL is the digital recreation of this novelty lettering and is available in both regular and oblique versions.
