The Black Pack started as a very, very, simple group of letters without curves to practice transforming them with Python scripting, but quite soon I give up the programming idea (I’m terrible at coding) and started to enjoy drawing more and more widths and styles. The aim was to develop a really bold font in many widths to fit easily any copy in any layout.

At the same time as I was drawing, the Variable Fonts appeared, which adapted perfectly to what I wanted to achieve. So at the same time as the static version, the test VF version appeared in 2016. And in its new version of 2025, with the variable technology more mature, it is the only version available.
