As Word War I raged on during 1917, a large number of songs were written as morale builders for both the soldiers leaving for overseas service as well as their friends, family and loved ones.

One such song, “Send Me Away with A Smile” has its title hand lettered in a simple, yet somewhat stylized sans serif design that was so much a part of the Art Nouveau style of that era.

Simply Nouveau JNL captures and preserves that design within a digital typeface; available in both regular and oblique versions.
