From 1958 to 1964, one of ABC-TV’s popular shows was the detective series “77 Sunset Strip”.
Based in Los Angeles, the fictional detective agency was located next door to Dino’s Lodge, (partly owned by Dean Martin and actually located at 8532 Sunset). It was originally known as the Alpine Lodge.
The adjacent building where Stuart Bailey and Jeff Spencer’s private detective service was located in fact housed a popular modeling agency. The ‘77’ address did not exist outside of the realm of the series.
However, a wonderful sign with Art Deco-influenced lettering graced the set (on the wall of the office foyer) saying “Bailey & Spencer Private Investigators Suites 101-102”.
A screen capture of this sign served as the working model for Private Eye JNL, which is available in both regular and oblique versions.
Download Rae Low Font Family From BumbumType Rae Low is a low contrast sans serif typeface with strong roots in German typography. Inspirit by 19th century store and street signs, Rae Low is a homage to a traditional craft which is deeply grounded in functionality. By combining low contrast with high contrast letterforms and deep ink traps which all got pushed to the maximum, we created a truly futuristic typeface. Rae Low works well as display typeface, but also can create interesting body copy. Download Rae Low Font Family From BumbumType Download Now View Gallery
