Jen Wagner Co. · Jen Wagner
seriftransitional serifitalic
A 16-style serif family spanning eight weights with matching italics, drawing on the tightly spaced editorial serif aesthetic of the 1980s and 90s.
About
Each of the eight weights ships with a corresponding italic, giving the family broad range for both display headings and body copy. The letter spacing is deliberately generous for text settings, with the designer recommending tightening tracking for display use. The family has seen commercial use in branding for Sweetgreen and editorial projects including Half Baked Harvest.
Classification
A tightly spaced serif with nostalgic 1980s–90s character, suited to both display and body text use. The proportions and spacing reference classic editorial serifs of that era.
