China Dragon

China Dragon JNL was inspired by a vintage letterpress logo cut on sale in an online auction. The logo for The China Dragon restaurant (presumably from the 1950s or 1960s) had a wonderfully eclectic hand-lettered look.

Some of the original characters were modified slightly to conform with the ones created for the remainder of the typeface, but the original styling remains intact.

The unique design of this font allows it to adapt well to Art Nouveau or Mideastern project styles.

In January of 2006, Jeff Levine Fonts started with just ten designs. A little more than seven years later, in April, 2013 the release of China Dragon is the 700th font added to this ever-growing library.
