## About Jersey 10

Jersey 10 is a display typeface whose outlines are built from square steps on a grid. It comes from the Soft Type Collection, which Sarah Cadigan-Fried designed so that knitters can chart out lettering for their projects; Jersey is the collection's sporty sans serif, meant to be knittable at several sizes. In the names of this collection the number after the family gives the height of the capital letters, here 10. The specimen shows heavy, slightly condensed letters with stair-stepped diagonals and corners, and every curve is resolved into blocks. The official notes mention a companion called Jersey 10 Charted. Jersey 10 has one Regular style, with no italic, and is not a variable font. It contains 359 glyphs for the Latin and Latin Extended character sets and is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Knitting and cross-stitch charts**: Every letter is made of grid squares, so a name or motto can be transferred to a chart stitch by stitch.
- **Team and club graphics**: The collection calls Jersey a sporty sans; heavy stepped letters suit names and numbers on kit mock-ups.
- **Pixel-style titles**: Stair-stepped diagonals give game screens and stream overlays a blocky, low-resolution look.
- **Craft-fair posters and labels**: A headline in Jersey 10 signals knitwear and handmade goods through the stitch-like outlines.

## Things to know

- **The number is the capital height**: In the Soft Type Collection the figure after the name states the height of the capitals for that typeface.
- **Stepped outlines at every size**: The blocks are part of the drawing, so enlarging the font makes the steps bigger rather than smoother.
- **One style**: Jersey 10 has only Regular 400, without italic or bold.
