About
Originally derived from a single handful of uppercase letters spotted in a 1954 Japan Airlines advertisement, the family was extended into a full character set and first released in 2004 before undergoing a significant rework. Six styles cover Regular, two shadow treatments, Shadow Raw, Line and Line Bold, giving designers options for depth and dimension in vintage or retro contexts. It has found use on cocktail bottles, racing posters, bar menus and hot rod merchandise, reflecting its strong mid-century commercial vernacular.
Classification
A junctionless display script drawing on mid-20th century streamline lettering and commercial signage; the foundry classifies it as Display Script, sitting between classic script and retro streamline type.
