Jackerton Font Family

Jackerton just got lighter—and brought some friends.

Jackerton is a playful display font inspired by my father’s doodles. Every word is a puzzle, with letters changing and shifting as you type.

Now available in Thin, Extra Light, Light, and Regular, Jackerton 3.0 gives you more ways to shape that personality. The variable font lets you fine-tune the weight anywhere from Thin to Regular, while companion doodles bring matching illustrations, shapes, and expressions to your designs.

Let Your Words Build Themselves

Turn on Standard Ligatures and Jackerton automatically combines letters into expressive arrangements. Its distinctive lettering happens as you type, making it easy to explore words, names, and headlines.

Use it for playful branding, book covers, packaging, posters, apparel, and projects that could use a little personality.

What’s New in Jackerton 3.0

• Four weights: Thin, Extra Light, Light, and Regular.

• Variable lettering: Explore the continuous weight range from Thin to Regular.

• Four Word Variation sets: Select a word and explore alternate letterforms and ligatures while keeping Standard Ligatures on and your text editable. The changes depend on the combinations in your word.

• Companion doodles in all four weights: Pair your lettering with matching artwork or mix weights for contrast.

• Practical PDF guides: Learn how to enable ligatures, explore alternate lettering, and use Jackerton and its doodles in your projects.

More Ways to Make It Yours

Jackerton includes over 2,700 glyphs, with alternate letterforms, ligatures, and extended Latin characters.

Try capital letters inside a word to change its arrangement—for example, Commander becomes ComMandEr. For more control, explore the four Word Variation sets or assemble custom combinations in your application’s Glyphs panel.

Before You Start

Jackerton’s automatic lettering requires an application that supports OpenType Standard Ligatures. Keep ligatures enabled and tracking or letter spacing at 0.

Word Variation sets require Stylistic Sets controls, available in applications such as Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.

Adjusting Jackerton Variable requires an application with variable-font weight controls. The static fonts do not require these controls.

For Canva, the Regular OTF can be uploaded using an account that supports custom font uploads. Follow the included guide for ligature settings and customization.

If you have questions or find a letter combination that needs attention, please send me the word and the application you’re using.
