Jeff Levine: Works Projects Administration (WPA) typefaces
The Works Progress Administration (called the Work Projects Administration or WPA after 1939) was the largest and most ambitious American New Deal agency, employing millions of unemployed people to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads. In a much smaller but more famous project, Federal Project Number One, the WPA employed musicians, artists, writers, actors and directors in large arts, drama, media, and literacy projects. These projects were designed to lead America out of the Depression. Various creations, covers, posters and lettering pieces related to the WPA, often in art deco style, led Jeff Levine to design this set of typefaces in 2016: Art Museum JNL, Basic Lettering JNL, Oil Painting JNL, On The Town JNL, Sanitation JNL, Art Project JNL, Art Topic JNL, Art Week JNL, Asbury Park JNL, Band Concert JNL (2020: based on a poster from the 1930s designed for the WPA Federal Art Project promoting free band concerts at the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, NY), Concert Series JNL, Fall Fashion JNL, Sign Vendor JNL, Summer Program JNL, Tourist Cabin JNL, Visual Arts JNL, Art And Design JNL, Art Exhibit JNL, Clip Joint JNL, Euripedes JNL, Infrastructure JNL, Music Festival JNL, National Parks JNL (2018, based on a 1930s WPA poster), Newsmaker JNL, Parenting JNL (2016), Parks Department JNL, Talent Show JNL, Bensonhurst JNL, East Village JNL, Public Safety JNL, Sea Gate JNL, Sutton Place JNL, Tap Water JNL, Comic Opera JNL. |
