JL Ticker OTF
Jung-Lee Type Foundry · Karel Martens and Jungmyung Lee
Four OTF cuts of a clock-inspired modular typeface by Karel Martens and Jungmyung Lee, each named after a clock position and designed for layering, overprinting and typographic experimentation.
About
Each of the four cuts — Four, Six, Eight and Nine — corresponds to a clock position, producing distinct width and stroke variations through manual expansion, compression and selective removal of external bars. The cuts are designed to be combined, layered and overprinted rather than used as conventional text typefaces, with colour experimentation central to the concept. Described by the foundry as a digital toy rather than a functionally complete type system, the work sits closer to typographic apparatus than type family.
Classification
A modular, experimental typeface built on clock-position logic with shape-shifting cuts; firmly display in nature, intended for layering and typographic play rather than continuous text.
