Tee Vee Set JL

Tee Vee Set JL, Jeffrey N. Levine's free television-channel dingbat font from 1997, turns old broadcast ephemera into a compact set of bold number badges. The recurring idea is the same throughout - chunky white numerals locked inside rounded screen-like blocks, with a mid-century TV feel that is more station ID than ordinary ornament.

That makes it a natural free font for retro broadcast graphics, poster accents, zine headers, collage work, title cards, and little interface-style labels where a plain number would feel too flat. Use it when you want numbering to behave like a graphic element, especially in short callouts or cover lines that benefit from those soft rectangular frames.
