Kingwick Big Boots is a bold, semi-condensed display font that features flared serifs and a generous contrast between thick and thin strokes.
Packed to the gills with alternatives, swash caps and ligatures, plus a set of small caps, this is a font that knows how to mix business and pleasure. The design combines classic English elegance with modern vibes, a sprinkle of fun and a cheeky pinch of nostalgic Soho style. Imagine a group of sharp-suited mods and heavy rockers in flared jeans, line dancing along Carnaby Street. Or a bunch of quiff-haired teddy boys and brightly coloured punks holding a swash-off outside Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club – nice.
A versatile display font, Kingwick Big Boots is a great choice for projects requiring a strong yet compact serif design for its message. Use it for book covers, posters, logo designs, advertising, humongous signage, websites, editorial design and love letters to your favourite place or band.
The name Kingwick comes from an amalgamation of two streets in Soho, London: Kingly Street and Berwick Street. The font is a series of love letters to one of the capital’s most (in)famous, diverse and eclectic areas, a place that holds many happy memories for me.
Although Kingwick Big Boots is a single font, it will become part of a larger typeface family that will eventually comprise text, subhead and display variants.
