About
A display serif by Rick Banks, drawn as a hybrid of two classic faces with eccentric ink traps and specially designed geometric licks. Eight styles span Thin, Light, Regular and Bold with matching italics. The family is named for Jan Tschichold, the modernist who shaped twentieth-century typography through his work at Penguin Books and on Sabon. Credits include Syracuse International Film Festival, Something Good, Traffic Digital and GSK, and the family suits editorial, identity and packaging that wants serif elegance with a slight industrial edge.
