In 2011 Jason’s Eloquent font family was awarded a spot in the “Best of Typeface Design” in Communications Arts Magazine’s Typography Annual. Jukebox fonts have been used on countless products and designs, films, books, television productions and more, by companies such as Disney, HGTV, The Food Network, Disney Theme Parks, Hershey’s, VistaPrint and many others. The exclusive product of Veer from 2003 to 2015, Jukebox became one of the industry standards in type libraries available. The deal with Veer blossomed into a whole new venture and JAW Fonts was closed down, retooled and relaunched as Jukebox in June of 2003. Veer was interested in carrying his font library which then consisted of about 50 faces. In early March of 2003, Walcott received a phone call from the then up-and-coming Veer Inc. Several of his type designs quickly became popular on and the sales grew through late 2002.
At that time, his foundry went under the name of “JAW Fonts”. Jason designed his first typeface called “Holiday Times” in the fall of 2000, and that started a long and wonderful journey that lead to the Jukebox of today.Īfter designing five or six more fonts, Jason started selling his typefaces on in summer of 2001. Jukebox is the brainchild of Jason Walcott, longtime type designer.
