1 / 6About Jaakko Font
Jaakko is the revival of a vernacular typeface found in a Finnish handwriting manual intended for merchant students and published in 1991.
The original script was a commercial one, used mainly in shops, written with a thick felt pen onto a colored card for showing special offers.
Jaakko allows you to set any fraction you like, via a nicely home-made opentype feature (And this is the case for all A is for… fonts).
