Designers Note
Sedgwick Ave is a charming, hand-drawn typeface that captures the essence of casual, retro-inspired design. With its slightly uneven baselines and organic stroke variations, this font exudes a warm, friendly personality perfect for creative and informal projects. Inspired by classic signage and vintage lettering, Sedgwick Ave brings a nostalgic touch ideal for branding, packaging, greeting cards, and social media graphics. Its playful yet legible forms make it a versatile choice for both display and short text settings. Each character is crafted with attention to detail, offering a natural, handwritten feel that stands out without overwhelming the message. Whether you're designing a café menu, a craft product label, or a personal invitation, Sedgwick Ave adds a touch of whimsical authenticity. Available in various formats, it supports a wide range of design software and platforms. This font works especially well when paired with minimal layouts, letting its expressive style take center stage. Embrace the relaxed elegance of Sedgwick Ave and bring a handcrafted charm to your next creative project.
Designed for the Google Doodle celebrating the 44th anniversary of the birth of Hip Hop, the Sedgwick Ave project expresses handwritten graffiti letterforms with two designs: This is Sedgwick Ave, ideal for text size usage, and accompanied by Sedgwick Ave Display, intended for larger size usage.
They are named after the street in the South Bronx of New York City where hip hop was born.
