About

Jacquard 12 Charted revives a pixel-based Victorian needlepoint alphabet created circa 1880 by Heinrich Kuehn in Berlin. It is tailored for machine knitting and other textile crafts, with capital letter heights indicated by the number in its name. This typeface supports Latin, Latin-Extended, math, and symbols subsets, and is available in a regular weight and normal style.

Overview

Jacquard 12 Charted is an expanded revival of a Victorian needlepoint alphabet originally designed by Heinrich Kuehn around 1880. The design reflects the pixelated nature of knitting patterns, where scale depends on yarn weight and stitch count. This typeface is intended for machine knitting but is also suitable for hand knitting, needlework, and textile embellishments. It comes in a single weight and style, with support for Latin, Latin-Extended, math, and symbol characters. The "Charted" version includes a specific scale to fit various project sizes, complementing the non-charted Jacquard 12 variant.

Designer: Sarah Cadigan-Fried
