Overview
Jacquard 12 is an expanded revival typeface based on a Victorian needlepoint alphabet designed circa 1880 by Heinrich Kuehn. It is part of a collection tailored for knitting color-work, where typefaces are designed as pixel types reflecting yarn properties and stitch scale. The number 12 indicates the capital letter height, making it ideal for machine knitting, hand knitting, needlework, and other textile crafts. The family includes regular and charted versions to accommodate various project sizes. Users should consider float management for Fair Isle knitting techniques.
