The letters and numbers of a home movie titling kit from circa the 1950s or 1960s called the Magna Tech Titler Number 312 were die-cut from cardboard with a magnetic backing and were styled after Futura Bold.
The user of this set composed the desired title or phrase onto a metalized board and the result was photographed with their 8 or 16mm camera.
Because the dies of the characters were handmade, very slight variations in the shape and stroke width of the lettering would occasionally occur. These variations were incorporated into the design of the digital type face.
Intermediate JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
