Banger
Manic Type · Jamie Chang · 2025
A single-weight display blackletter by Jamie Chang, built on spiky, curved letterforms drawn from decorative blackletter and metal album art traditions.
About
Released in 2025, Banger avoids straight lines throughout, giving every character a thorny, energetic quality that sits somewhere between traditional blackletter and heavy metal typography. At a single Black weight, it is a straightforward display choice for anything requiring visual aggression tempered by a degree of legibility. The glyph set is broad, covering over 300 languages across extended Latin, including full Vietnamese accent support.
Classification
Explicitly described as a blackletter by the foundry, loosely inspired by decorative blackletters and metal album lettering. Its spiky, high-contrast, display-oriented character places it firmly in the decorative blackletter subcategory.
