About Holtwood One SC

Holtwood One SC is a display typeface built from very thick strokes and blocky slab serifs. The letters are wide, the counters are small, and the serifs on E, F and T are almost as heavy as the stems. There is no true lowercase: small letters are drawn as small capitals, so a title sets as capitals in two heights, as the SC in the name indicates. According to the official notes, Vernon Adams gave the design the look of nineteenth-century woodblock poster type and prepared it for web browsers, mainly at large sizes but also for smaller headlines. The family consists of one Regular style with 375 glyphs covering the Latin and Latin Extended character sets, and it is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Holtwood One SC works

Poster and flyer titles

Thick stems and slab serifs follow woodblock poster lettering, which suits event names and dates set large.

Vintage-style signs and menus

Wide capitals in two heights give a shop sign or a menu heading the look of old printed bills.

Web page headings

The official notes describe Holtwood as developed for web browsers, and the whole family is a single Regular file.

Labels and badges

Small capitals in place of lowercase keep a brand name or a short claim in one solid band of letters.
