Designers Note
Minehead is a bold, decorative typeface with a rugged, hand-crafted appearance. Inspired by coastal signage and vintage typography, it features uneven strokes and weathered edges that evoke a sense of aged authenticity. Ideal for logos, posters, and branding projects with a rustic or nautical theme, Minehead adds character and visual impact. Its distinctive style stands out in large displays, making it a strong choice for creative designs seeking a unique, artisanal touch.
As a family, we love to go camping. We have a big Norwegian tunnel tent (4 season - with room for a wood stove), some really warm down sleeping bags and a primitive field kitchen. Even though our camping trips are usually devoid of luxury, the kids love them! We always choose campsites that are close to nature, like a national park or in the mountains.
A couple of years ago, we toured the southern part of England and one of our camping stops was in Exmoor National Park. Minehead is a small coastal town, not far from where we camped, so I named this font after a fond memory!
Minehead is a handmade display font. It was loosely based on Haettenschweiler.
Use it for your packaging, your tourist information leaflets and your book covers.
And do visit Minehead one day!
