Sheet music for the 1939 song “On the Paraña” featured Art Deco hand lettering in a classic “thick and thin” style, with many stylized characters.
The publisher of the song was the Theodore Presser Company of Philadelphia, so the name “Presswork” aptly fit this typographic design.
Presswork JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
For trivia buffs, the Paraña is a river in Brazil.
