Pre Code Movies
Font Family by Jeff Levine Fonts
Includes 2 Font Styles from $55
Buy NowThe hand lettered credits from the 1931 melodrama 'Safe in Hell' inspired the typeface Pre Code Movies JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
The design is strongly influenced by the popular Art Deco style of thick-and-thin characters and also features rounded corners.
The font's name comes from the early era of talking pictures and the short period before the establishment of the Hays Office in 1934 when Hollywood did not self-censor itself. Many then-taboo topics were exploited on film until Will Hays cracked down on such productions.
