Mantequilla

Some unusual hand lettering was found on the cover of the 1924 edition of a Spanish language novel by Joaquin Belda entitled “La Hora del Abandono” ("The Time of Abandonment").

The title was created as all lower case characters in a semi-serif style reflecting the dawn of the Art Deco movement.

A new set of capital letters was created for this digital revival, along with the numbers, punctuation and other necessary glyphs.

Mantequilla JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

For those unfamiliar with the Spanish language, Mantequilla (pronounced mon-tay-key-yuh) means butter.
