Jack's Maggot
displayblackletter-influenced display
A medieval-flavoured display face from Beasts of England, described as funky and polarising, inspired by the spirit of an 80s folk-dance band.
About
Taking its name from an 80s folk band, this display typeface leans into a medieval, bawdy character that the foundry likens to Marmite. The accompanying copy frames it as deliberately rough-edged and festive, suited to work that wants personality over polish. It sits comfortably in poster, event and editorial contexts where a folk or rustic tone is wanted.
Classification
Described as 'hairy, medieval, bawdy-ballad-jamming', suggesting a decorative display face with medieval or blackletter character, positioned as funky and irreverent rather than a strict blackletter.
