 **Forma DJR** is a modern revival of Aldo Novarese's //Forma//, and is designed by David Jonathan Ross and Roger Black. It is a neo-grotesque (also known as "International" or "Swiss" style) typeface, characterized by their irregular proportions, regular cap and ascender heights, and their somewhat "default" appearance. It shares much in common with similar typefaces such as //Helvetica// and //Univers//, but gives the style a softer, friendlier feel.  **Forma DJR** is a modern revival of Aldo Novarese's //Forma//, and is designed by David Jonathan Ross and Roger Black.

 +===== Scriptorama Tradeshow JF =====

 +{{ ::type_flag_-_scriptorama_tradeshow_jf-1.png|Type flag for Scriptorama Tradeshow JF}}
 +
 +**Scriptorama Tradeshow JF** is a font designed by Jason Walcott ([[http://www.walcottdesign.com/|Website]]). Scriptorama Tradeshow is a flowing brush script font that lends a warm and engaging look to any design. This Jukebox original celebrates the sign lettering of the 1950s and 1960s.
 +
 +The font is used on one prop only: the “Lumon Recycles” recycling bin located in the orientation room antechamber, shown in [[Good News About Hell]]. [[Irving Bailiff|Irving]] can be seen tossing a paper cup from the watercolor into the bin prior to assisting with [[Helena Eagan|Helly]]’s orientation.
