Introducing “Let’s Jazz” - a playful typeface which is inspired by iconic mid-century American advertising and lettering.
With this project we wanted to homage the dazzling graphics of those booming years and the result is a jazzy typeface that provides a condensed aspect with a bouncy rhythm.
As previously said, Let’s Jazz gives the spontaneous vibe of this sensational music genre but it has been also designed with a strong focus to the very distinct look of Saul Bass graphics, which are honestly still fresh and convincing, even nowadays.
Let’s Jazz offers two versions, Regular and Stamp. Each version contains more than 450 glyphs and covers several languages based on the Latin alphabet; the jazzy experience is enhanced with OpenType (OTF) support for small caps and includes some neat ligatures and alternates plus the oldstyle bouncy numerals*.
This package is a powerful tool in a wide variety of design purposes: headlines, packaging, logotypes, badges, posters and much more.
*Let’s Jazz has built-in OpenType features enabled for Adobe® Creative Suite® and any other opentype capable software. All the extra characters has been additionally coded with “PUA Unicode”, which basically means that this font duo is totally accessible without any additional design software. All the extra characters can now be copied straight out the FontBook (Mac) or CharacterMap (Win) and pasted into your favorite text editor.
