Step into a world of warm memories and bold design with The Picnic Club—a dynamic serif type family that bridges the groovy energy of the 1980s with the crisp precision of modern typography. This isn’t just a font. It’s a design movement. Born from nostalgia, reimagined for today, The Picnic Club delivers character, depth, and unmistakable charm — all while giving you the tools to create with intention, impact, and flair.
Evolved for Creativity: A Complete Type System
What began as a bold display serif has transformed into a full-scale type system, built for the real demands of contemporary design. With 10 carefully calibrated weights—ranging from delicate Thin to powerful ExtraBold—The Picnic Club gives you unmatched control over visual hierarchy. Whether you’re crafting a minimalist title or building a layered editorial spread, every weight responds with purpose and presence.
Now, the family has expanded with a brand-new Script font, hand-crafted to dance alongside the serif styles. Its lively, handwritten flow adds playfulness, fluidity, and personal touch—perfect for signatures, invitations, and branding that wants to feel human, not machine-made. And for those who demand flexibility, separate Regular and Italic styles—plus dedicated variable files—ensure smooth scaling and responsive performance across all devices and projects.
Design Power at Your Fingertips
From the first stroke to the final pixel, The Picnic Club gives you the freedom to create with confidence. Its refined serifs, gentle contrast, and slightly exaggerated proportions evoke a bygone era without feeling dated. It’s retro, yes—but never cliché. It’s nostalgic, but unmistakably modern.
