Unleash the allure of the past with Kentish, a striking serif font that reimagines the grandeur of the Art Deco era for today’s most discerning designs. Every stroke is a gesture of refinement, every letterform a statement of grace. This is not just a typeface—it’s a design experience. With its bold curves, dramatic contrast, and masterful attention to detail, Kentish transforms ordinary text into an artistic declaration of luxury, heritage, and elegance.
Why Kentish Stands Out in Any Design Context
A Legacy Reborn: Art Deco Roots, Modern Boldness
Kentish draws deep from the rich traditions of early 20th-century Art Deco, where geometry met opulence and form danced with meaning. Yet, it refuses to be confined by history. Through thoughtful modulation and precision in spacing and stroke weight, Kentish feels completely at home in contemporary branding, editorial pages, and digital interfaces. It’s the perfect bridge between vintage charm and modern clarity—timeless without being outdated.
Master Control via Stylistic Alternates and Ligatures
One of Kentish’s most powerful features is its extensive library of stylistic alternates and ligatures. These aren’t decorative extras—they’re design tools. Use them to instantly elevate your typography:
- Elegant title treatments – Choose bold, flourished caps for headlines and logos that command attention.
- Subtle paragraph text – Select refined, tighter alternates for body copy that flows with quiet sophistication.
- Unique typographic rhythm – Mix and match glyphs to craft one-of-a-kind layouts that feel hand-curated, not automated.
The inclusion of Swash (Swsh), Stylistic Sets, and contextual ligatures means your text can tell a richer story. Whether you’re designing a high-end fashion label, a literary magazine, or a luxury wedding invitation, Kentish gives you the power to control tone, mood, and impact with unmatched precision.
