About Sekuya

Sekuya is a display typeface made of very wide, very heavy capital letters. The specimen sets the lowercase row in exactly the same capitals as the uppercase row, so the font has no separate small letters. Strokes flare into short wedge-like serifs at their ends, the joins of K, R and A pinch to thin points, and the counter of the O is cut as a narrow diamond while the zero keeps a plain oval. Numerals and punctuation match the wide stance of the letters. Because each character takes so much horizontal room, a line holds only a few words. Sekuya has one Regular style and is not a variable font. It holds 389 glyphs in the Latin and Latin Extended subsets. The designer field and the name table both give SEKUYA, the copyright notice names The SEKUYA Project Authors, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Sekuya works

One-word poster headlines

Extra-wide capitals fill the width of a poster with a single short word.

Sports and automotive branding

Flared endings and a low, broad stance give a team or model name a sense of speed and mass.

Wordmarks

The diamond counter in the O gives a logo a built-in mark of its own.

Title cards

Heavy strokes stay solid over video or photographs when a title is set across the frame.
