Rig Shaded
Jamie Clark Type · Jamie Clark · 2017
A 3D display typeface in 20 styles, combining geometric precision with handcrafted extruded forms and two grades of halftone shading across four weights.
About
Inspired by custom 3D sign painting, the design offers four weights including an unusual 'zero' weight, each available in Fine and Coarse halftone shading variants. The extruded letterforms produce gradient effects that work across both print and screen, making it suited to high-impact headlines. It has appeared in branding for BBC Sounds, among other notable applications.
Classification
A geometric display typeface with extruded 3D shading, drawing from sign-painting traditions. Its halftone gradient shading and bold extruded forms place it firmly in the display category, closer to decorative lettering than conventional text typography.
