About the product
Jessen links condensed gothic minuscules with stately roman capitals. It conveys a solemn, bookish tone, with calligraphic strokes, tight curves, tapered verticals, and firm serifs — pretty close to hand-cut metal type.
Use it for liturgical or historical book design, new editions of classic literature, and editorial layouts that need a quiet, scholarly voice. The font suits titles and pull quotes in magazines, chapter openings in long-form reports, and identity systems for cultural institutions, libraries, and presses. It also works well for packaging with a heritage angle, exhibition graphics, and typographic posters.
The family includes: two fonts with uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, punctuation, and international characters.
