About Sedgwick Ave Display

Sedgwick Ave Display is a handwriting typeface that sets graffiti letterforms as type. The Sedgwick Ave project has two designs, and this is the one meant for big sizes; its sibling, Sedgwick Ave, is tuned for text. In the specimen the strokes look made with a broad marker: thick, rounded at the ends and thinning where the pen turns. Many lowercase keys give smaller capital-style shapes, so words read as a mix of tall and short capitals with a few true lowercase forms such as h, k, p and y between them. The zero is slashed, letters lean in different directions and the baseline shifts from character to character. The family has one Regular style and 612 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Pedro Vergani and Kevin Burke are credited as designers.

Where Sedgwick Ave Display works

Music and street-culture posters

Marker-drawn capitals put a tag-like headline on gig posters and event flyers.

Apparel and sticker graphics

One or two words in the uneven, leaning letters look written by hand on a shirt print or sticker.

Video titles and thumbnails

Thick strokes keep a short title legible over footage, the large-size use the design was drawn for.

Slogans in several languages

Latin Extended and Vietnamese letters let the same slogan be set for Turkish, Polish or Vietnamese audiences.

Things to know

Lowercase is mostly small capitals

Typing lowercase gives shorter capital-like shapes for many letters, so mixed-case text does not look conventional.

A text companion exists

The official notes name Sedgwick Ave as the sibling made for text sizes; this Display cut is for large settings.

One style

There is a single Regular 400 file with no bold or italic.
