Janesville 51, designed by PJL, is a free retro display font with tall, narrow letters and an Art Nouveau air. Fine strokes, rounded forms, and dramatic changes in line weight make the lettering look elegant and slightly theatrical.
Fashion and beauty brands are its clearest audience. Its slender silhouette suits logos and packaging, and it can also lend period polish to magazine covers and event posters. The font's strongest role is refined display work connected with cabaret, vintage cosmetics, or decorative architecture.
