Desert Sands
Font Family by Jeff Levine Fonts
Includes 2 Font Styles from $55
Buy NowThe February 19, 1923 issue of The Film Daily contained an ad for Mack Sennett's new Ben Turpin comedy entitled 'The Shriek of Araby”. No doubt this was a spoof of the popular Rudolph Valentino film 'The Sheik”.
The ad tries to emulate Mideastern or Arablic typography via a standard Western alphabet. It somewhat captures the flavor, but its free-form hand lettering comes off as more of a novelty type style.
This is now available digitally as Desert Sands JNL in both regular and oblique versions.
