The origin
Every word is a puzzle.
Jackerton is a playful, child-like typeface inspired by my father's doodles. Every word is a puzzle, with pieces changing and shifting as you type.
The foundation · 2.0, released in 2022
I scrutinized more than 50,000 words across over 100 languages so each combination could fit together precisely.
New in 3.0 · Jackerton Variable
Four styles.
One continuous range.
Thin, Extra Light and Light bring a lighter touch to the family, alongside a subtly updated Regular. Jackerton Variable connects them all in a single font, with every weight in between.

The same words at the same size. Only the weight changes.
A connected lowercase
Made to fit.Built to play.
The lowercase moves like a phrase. Contextual alternates and ligatures let neighboring letters react to one another, fitting together without sanding away the font's odd edges.
Letters in motion
The forms change. The character stays.
Motion makes the font's puzzle-like construction visible. This original Pinterest study builds the word one piece at a time as you type.
