Jack
Black Foundry · Black Foundry Designers
A capitals-only variable display typeface born from an experimental wavy drawing tool, offering width and corner axes for wave-like letterform distortions.
About
Born from Tavern, an experimental wavy tool by Gaëtan Baehr, Jack strips letterforms to simplified, raw capitals with a width variation axis and four corner axes that allow precise control over curvature. The result can range from clean, bold geometry to rippling, wave-distorted forms suited to posters and large-scale branding. A single Regular style is available, with the variable axes doing the work of differentiation.
Classification
A capitals-only display typeface with variable width and corner axes, derived from an experimental wavy tool; its stripped-back, raw letterforms and poster-scale intent place it firmly in the display category with a brutalist character.
