Oliver Jeschke is a Berlin-based type designer with a passion for typeface revivals, system fonts, and custom type designs. Working under the moniker “OGJ,” Oliver develops bespoke type designs for private clientele and retail typefaces for graphic designers around the world.
Much of Oliver’s work has revolved around the Max Bill font library, building digital revivals of the late designer’s work. Much of Oliver’s work is rooted in inspiration that stems from the type designers who came before him, like Max Bill, Arno Drescher, and Paul Renner. His work is consistently sharp and beautifully executed, focusing on minimalist form and a high degree of versatility.
One of Oliver’s most recent releases through YouWorkForThem is JT Energy, a geometric sans serif with “optically consistent lines.” The type family was inspired by the designs of Renner and Drescher, but it took on a life of its own through the development process.
With JT Energy, Oliver crafted a complete type family with consistent thickness throughout every stroke, resulting in a visually striking and timeless sans serif. This is an absolute go-to type design, offering impeccable legibility in every size.
JT Energy speaks with clarity and a perfectly neutral tone, making it an ideal choice for any design project that wants to convey a message without a hint of bias. It is a confident type design that recalls the clean, modern style of international traffic signage.
The JT Energy family is available in Extra Light, Light, Regular, Medium, Semi Bold, Bold, and Heavy, along with two extra Placard versions for large output. The entire family is beautifully suited to everything from displays and signage to headlines, subheadings, editorials, body copy, publishing, logos, product packaging and informational inserts, letterhead, infographics, presentations, website designs, and mobile applications.
JT Energy also includes a Variable option for designers using compatible platforms.
This type design offers a number of additional features through OpenType, including case sensitive forms, fractions, discretionary ligatures, standard ligatures, localized forms, ordinals, superscript, oldstyle figures, and stylistic alternates for greater flexibility. JT Energy extends multilingual support to Basic Latin, Western European, Euro, Catalan, Baltic, Turkish, Central European, Romanian, Pan African Latin, Dutch, and Afrikaans for exceptionally far-reaching global accessibility.
Right now through April 28, 2020, JT Energy is on sale for 86% off of its regular price so it’s a great time to add this one to your font collection!
