Kindersley Sans
Kindersley Sans - K-Type
Free for Personal Use
Designers Note
Kinderley Sans is a clean and modern sans-serif font with a friendly and approachable feel. Its balanced proportions and soft edges make it ideal for both digital and print projects. Perfect for branding, websites, and children's materials, it offers excellent readability and versatility. With a range of weights and styles, Kinderley Sans brings a fresh and playful touch to any design.
Many street nameplates in Britain use versions of Kindersley serif capitals designed by David Kindersley in the 1950s. K-Type Kindersley Sans is an unfussy alternative to the signage stalwart, perfectly suited to newer environments and more contemporary tastes.
Kindersley Sans is a humanist sans-serif that conserves the Gill-inspired character and some of the calligraphic qualities of Kindersley’s lettering, it retains the Roman proportions and its Britishness, but traditional prettiness and intricacy are discarded in favour of a clean modernity. For purposes where Transport (MOT) is considered too formal and Kindersley too old-fashioned, Kindersley Sans offers an open and amiable up-to-date alternative.
The typeface is comfortably spaced and carefully kerned to deliver beautiful results with ease, and although designed with nameplates in mind, it excels as an all-purpose text face in print and on screen.
The tail of the uppercase Q has minimal descent to avoid constriction.
Kindersley Sans includes a lowercase designed for signage with short descenders to prevent unsightly congestion. A generous x-height assists legibility, and characters are designed for easy reading and distinctiveness. The curved foot of the lowercase L distinguishes it from the uppercase i.
The six fonts contain a full complement of Latin Extended-A characters, Welsh diacritics and Irish dotted consonants, so European language nameplates need not be a source of frustration. The ascent and descent of accented characters has been kept to an acceptable minimum.
The licensed family includes all six fonts – regular, italic, bold, bold italic, medium and medium italic – and the regular weight can be downloaded Free for Personal Use.
