Jacquarda Bastarda Font Family

About Jacquarda Bastarda

Jacquarda Bastarda is an expanded revival typeface from a bastarda-esque Victorian needlepoint alphabet designed in Berlin by Heinrich Kuehn circa 1880.

Each typeface has a “Regular” and “Charted” version, and some include multiple scales so you can fit type on your knits, no matter the project's size.

In this collection, the number following the typeface's name indicates the height of the capital letters for that typeface.

These typefaces were designed with machine knitting in mind, but could be used for hand knitting, needlework, bedazzling, or many other textile crafts.

Note: For Fair Isle knitting, you need to beware of floats and plan accordingly, as always.
