About
Jingo packs over 1000 glyphs across four character sets, with ornaments, swashes and ligatures drawn from sources that appear entirely unrelated yet read as a coherent whole. Uppercase, lowercase and unicase forms are interchangeable, giving designers considerable freedom in composition. It is suited to posters and similarly bold applications where subtlety is unwelcome.
