ABOUT

J Foundry (was: Greyscale Type) [Jason Vandenberg]

Jason Vandenberg (Greyscale Type and later J Foundry, Toronto) created the 8-style Grey Sans family in 2013. Gia Tran and Jason Vandenberg created the decorative typeface Ella FY (2013, Fontyou). The slender display typeface Sérafine FY (2013) was co-designed by Jason Vandenberg, Jérémie Hornus and Alisa Nowak. At the end of 2013, Jason Vandenberg and Jérémie Hornus co-designed the groovy poster typeface Jack FY.

In 2014, Adrien Midzic, Jason Vandenberg, Jérémie Hornus, Julien Priez and Alisa Nowak co-designed the creamy script Vanilla FY. It was renamed Vanille FY after a few days.

Minuit FY (2014, by Jason Vandenberg and Gia Tran) is a beautiful angular angry calligraphic display typeface. Still in 2014, he published the Peignotian fashion mag typeface families Bodoni Sans, Bodoni Sans Display, and Bodoni Sans Text.

Typefaces from 2015: Abrade (a 12-style geometric sans with medium x-height and perfect rhythm covering Hairline to Ultra).

Typefaces from 2016: Fourth (a baseball or roundhand script family), Town (a 124-style all caps art deco and lettering typeface family with enormous potential). Town includes subfamilies for Display, Inline, Outline, Lines (prismatic), 3 Dimensional, Shadow, Text, Emboss, Stencil, Chic and Contrast, and can be used for layering.

Typefaces from 2017: Colby (a workhorse hand-drawn sans family).

Typefaces from 2018: Stash (signage script).

Typefaces from 2019: Marsden (114 styles: a bold, no-nonsense Grotesque. It was designed for display, branding, advertising, packaging or anywhere a strong voice is needed. Marsden is built on a geometric foundation, with just enough warmth to keep the style confident and lively).

Typefaces from 2020: Mello (an informal grotesque).

Typefaces from 2021: Cutmark (a 60-style octagonal industrial typeface family that features common 45 degree chamfered corners, flattened ink traps and wide apex forms; Cutmark Variable contains the full family of styles in a single file with width, weight and slant axes).

Typefaces from 2022: Sundry (44 styles; J Foundry's take on the early 20th century grotesque).
