The hand lettered title found on the cover of the 1932 sheet music for “Dancing Marathon” inspired the digital revival of this unusual lettering as well as the font’s name.
This eccentric Art Deco design (with a slight bit of Art Nouveau mixed in) is a thin, monoline typeface.
Dancing Marathon JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
