Jan Maack collaborated with Danish illustrator Erik Sørensen for the joyful illustrated typeface SwingKing. During his decades-long career that began in the predigital era, Sørensen always had difficulties finding the right typographic voice to match his illustrations and comic strips. Maack digitized, polished, and improved letters drawn by Sørensen to develop a useful casual sans that is neither cartoonish nor handwritten. Dozens of symbols, icons, and emojis amp up the fun factor. The Ivy Foundry, 2017.

The Ivy Foundry, founded in 2016 by Jan Maack, is a small independent type foundry based in Denmark. The foundry takes its name from the fleuron—a glyph used as a punctuation mark or as an ornament for typographic compositions. It’s one of the oldest typographic ornaments, present in early Greek and Roman inscriptions. The fleuron (or header in Latin) is a stylized form of the ivy leaf.
