澳大利亚设计师兼艺术总监Wayne Thompson一直非常热爱排印，“自从我10岁收到了一本破旧的二手Letraset目录以来。” 他根据一个熟人的手写体创作了ITC Django。“我认识的一个人，他写儿童读物，也画插图，还是个商业艺术家”——他自称为Django（以爵士吉他手Django Reinhardt的名字命名）。汤普森说：“我觉得Django这个名字很适合这款有趣且充满活力的字体。”但他补充说：“Django有双层特性：一开始看起来很松散自在，但是看了一段时间后，我感到一种有点神经质的急躁。” 小写字母的松散与大写字母的尖刻形成了对比。这种“急躁”在所有大写字母的单词中尤其明显。

Australian designer and art director Wayne Thompson has loved typography “ever since I received a battered second-hand Letraset catalog at the age of 10.” He based ITC Django on the handwriting of an acquaintance -- “a fellow I know who writes and illustrates children's books and is also a commercial artist” -- who called himself Django, after the jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. “I felt that that name Django suited the funky, lively feel of the face,” says Thompson. But he adds, “Django has a split personality: it appears loose and easy at first, but after looking at it for some time I felt an edginess come through that was slightly psychotic.” The looseness of the lowercase contrasts with the spikiness of the capitals. The “edginess” is especially apparent in words in all caps.
