New styles for the fall (3)

Jennerik is a very simple, monoline serif font. The plain version was originally created to print rough drafts on ink-jet printers. Because it is mildly condensed and quite thin, it saved on the use of paper and ink. Bold and extrabold versions were added before the typeface was offered for sale.

A recent revision takes this typeface family from three members to eight. A new weight, light, is added and then italic versions of all weights were added. The italic versions of the lower case letters had been created many years ago but never added to this family. Instead the forms were kept upright and combined with some unusual caps to form a new family.
 Along with the addition of new family members, the family received some OpenType features.
The name reflects its simple, unpretentious style.
