About
F37 Jan features eccentric ink traps, specially designed geometric licks, and is a hybrid of two classic faces.
The initial inspiration for our F37 Jan font family was Matthew Carter’s Bell Centennial, which was used in the AT&T telephone directory. We loved the way the ink traps and large contours made the text easier to read in small sizes.
But we were also taken by the geometry and modernism that inspired Jan Tschichold’s Untitled sans serif (found in stylistic set 2). So we decided to create a hybrid design, and to give it Tschichold’s first name.

F37 Jan
ThinJan Tschichold was born 2 April 1902 Leipzig, Germany. He was a calligrapher, typographer and book designer. He played a significant role in the development of graphic design in the 20th century – first, by developing and promoting principles of typographic modernism, and subsequently (and ironically) idealizing conservative typographic structures. His direction of the visual identity of Penguin Books in the decade following World War II served as a model for the burgeoning design practice of planning corporate identity programs. He also designed the much-admired typeface Sabon.
