Marsden
J Foundry · Jason Vandenberg · 2019
A no-nonsense geometric Grotesque spanning eight widths and twelve weights, built for display, branding and packaging work that needs a strong, confident voice.
About
Marsden is a geometric Grotesque superfamily by Jason Vandenberg of J Foundry. Eight widths run from Slim to Wide, with condensed forms using flat sides and subtle curves, and wider forms opening into rounded sides and open curves. A rich set of stylistic alternates covers single-story a, two-story g, raised vertex M, rounded G, and straight-tail Q among others, each addressable as an individual style set. Marsden Text extends the system with adjusted weights and spacing for small-size use.
