Sheet music for the 1915 song “Is There Still Room for Me Neath the Old Apple Tree” had the title hand-lettered in a condensed, square sans serif.

Although far from the more decorative lettering styles of the Art Nouveau period, this type of simple understatement was also a popular choice for the illustrators of the day.

It is presented digitally as Nouveau Square JNL in both regular and oblique versions.
