ABOUT

Jack Batchelor

Jack Albert Batchelor (b. 1994) is a graphic designer and photographer in Glasgow. During and after his studies at Glasgow School of Art, he designed these typefaces:

• Bobby Grotesque. Created in support of the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020-2021, as a reaction to the protests about the statue of Robert Peel in Glasgow's George Square. He writes about this dystopian typeface: Bobby Grotesque is a deliberately threatening, cumbersome and dangerous 18th century-styled British Grotesque.
• Flourish (2021), designed together with Cobolt Collective and fellow student Ellie Bainbridge to create a unique typeface celebrating the paperback launch of Shuggie Bain (by Douglas Stuart), a brutal, visceral tale of poverty, addiction, and growing up queer in 1980's Glasgow.
