MegaMegaTypeType
A two-weight display sans-serif reviving the blunted, constructed lettering of 1930s Argentine horse racing posters.
About
Jockey traces its origins to an unknown Argentine artist who produced poster lettering for racetracks in the 1930s. The shapes are deliberately simplified and blunted, giving the typeface a period character that sits between early-twentieth-century geometric sans-serifs and vernacular signage. Available in Regular and Bold, it suits headline and poster applications where a touch of historical South American flavour is wanted.
Classification
A display sans-serif with blunted, constructed letterforms derived from 1930s Argentine poster lettering. Its simplified, geometric shapes and bold poster origins place it firmly in the display category rather than a workhorse grotesque.
