Henriette by Typejockeys is a typeface that draws directly from Vienna's iconic street signage, reinterpreting 16 distinct styles found on those classic white-on-blue enamel plates into a single, versatile family. Rather than a straightforward digitization, the design captures the essence of those forms while making something that feels both rooted in a specific place and genuinely contemporary. With 30 weights spanning three widths (Normal, Condensed, Compressed), it delivers a refined, almost formal elegance paired with just enough character to feel alive and present without tipping into decorative territory.

The depth of this family makes it work for serious typographic problems. Roman weights include small caps, the italics offer swash capitals, and across every weight you get ligatures, contextual alternates, and multiple figure styles. Language support is comprehensive, so you can use it globally. Consider it for luxury brand identities, high-end restaurant and hospitality menus, sophisticated packaging designs for boutique skincare and artisan goods, and editorial mastheads where type carries the design burden. The frames font that comes bundled with each purchase is a thoughtful addition for moments when a little visual ornamentation serves the concept.
