Along with Tempron Taste Tempters, Jenfredware is one of my favorite Ben Seibel lines. Interestingly, it is thought this was Seibel's first commercial design. In my experience, many designers don't begin their career with a line this comprehensive and altogether well done. I believe this to be a testament to Seibel's genius, especially in his early career.
