About Jessie Font Family


Jessie's Letter is based on an old typed letter by Kerrie's great step grandmother. This letter was undated, but we think it must have been from the 1920s or so. Jessie wasn't much for punctuation, so there aren't any of those pesky question marks and exclamation points. But, she did make mistakes in her typing, so we've included cross outs and strange resulting characters to make up for the lack of everyday punctuation. Maybe Jessie wanted to visit Paris, or maybe she secretly made paintings in her back yard, or maybe she dreamed of painting her house bright pink. Well, maybe not, but it's fun to dream...

About Turtle Arts

Artist and font designer Kerrie Carbary has been addicted to the artistic alphabet since she was very small. On the Saturdays she had to work at a printer, Kerrie's mom used to set her up under her desk and let her cut up old type books to create letter collages. Since, Kerrie has be constantly drawn back to the art of letterform, from calligraphy to a compulsive collecting of all kinds of alphabets and fonts. Her obsession with alphabet rubber stamps let her to creating her own alphabets, which she has started to offer for sale as computer fonts, collage sheets, and rubber stamp sets. All of her fonts are based on artistic inspiration, from a letter by her great-grandmother to a doodle in her own sketchbook. She loves the letter, and is drawn to creating fonts that are unlike any other, yet are still very usable and readable.
