Designed by Jeff Levine, Sporting Event JNL is a slab serif and wood type font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Jeff Levine Fonts.
A British boxing film from 1953 called “The Square Ring” had its titles and credits hand lettered in a slab serif type style commonly referred to as “Egyptian”. Other familiar type fonts which share this influence are Karnak, Stymie and Beton.
Sporting Event JNL was modeled from the film’s titles and is available in both regular and oblique versions.
