ABOUT

Jamie Clarke Type [Jamie Clarke]

Jamie Clarke (Bristol and London, UK, and at some point, Sydney, Australia) creates illustrative type and lettering. He ran his own digital agency for ten years, and retrained after that period by studying type design at the University of Reading and letterpress at the St. Bride Foundation in London. His commercial typefaces include Brim Narrow (2015). He writes about this engraved layered typeface: Brim is inspired by antique woodtype and chromatic type from the 1800s. Its various styles stack together creating a variety of decorative combinations. Each layer can be assigned its own colour. The horizontal etching in some styles and subtle shadow effects can give the typeface the appearance of a vintage money font. In 2016, he added Brim Combined.

His commissioned led him to the Kelmscott Bakehouse K (2016), a decorative letter commissioned by Kelmscott Bakehouse and based based on William Morris's ats and crafts style.

Typefaces from 2017: Rig Shaded (a large 3d shaded typeface family---the best such collection available to date).

Typefaces from 2018: Shovel Knight Drop Caps (partial woodblock print alphabet), Rig Solid (a superb family of layered 3d fonts).

Typefaces from 2020: Span (a 3-style a modern glyphic type family that flaunts its engraved heritage with sweeping serifs and sculptural forms).

Typefaces from 2021: Rig Sans (a 16-style geometric sans).

Author of the very informative article The Evolution of Chromatic Type (2017).
