About Edgethorn Font Family


Edgethorn is a beautiful, italic-only transitional serif typeface that was born after I became obsessed with a few small paragraphs of italic text on a type specimen broadside from 1785.


Working on this type revival allowed me to delve much more deeply than I ever have before into type history and typeface classification, and I’ve included some type history for you with your download so that you can play around with the smattering of historical characters I included (like the medial s).


Although it is based on centuries-old typefaces, Edgethorn is elegant, timeless, and perfect for 21st century projects.


Edgethorn includes approximately 525 glyphs — including 64 standard and discretionary ligatures and a handful of contextual alternates and character variants — and supports over 200 languages.


The OpenType features can be very easily accessed by using OpenType-savvy programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign.

About Up Up Creative

Hello! I'm Julie Green. I letter, draw, code, and design fonts (and other things) under the studio name Up Up Creative. If anyone (including me) had known that a font designer was something you could be, like, for a job, then surely we'd all have predicted this. As it was, my only real nickname growing up was Julie Twelve (as in Times 12, the font we all had to use on our papers in high school) since people said my handwriting should be a font in Word).As a designer, I got my start in college, where I studied visual communication from a social science perspective and started creating really stellar early-web websites. Nothing I made back then ever blinked or anything, but let's just say there was a lot of joy when I first discovered roll-over images.For a short time, I worked as an IT consultant and learned to program in Java, C++, and other languages. Then for a long time I went to graduate school in English, getting about halfway through my dissertation before I realized that academia was not the long-term place for me. That's when I finally put my right brain and left brain passions together, took ALLLLLLL that stuff I had learned about visual communication and rhetoric and communication and planning and pathfinding, and became a freelance graphic designer and entrepreneur. I started Up Up Creative in 2008 and have never looked back.Perhaps the coolest way I combine my creative and analytical sides is through font design. I released my first font, Bundt Cake, in 2015, and since then I've only fallen more and more in love with the process of creating useful, beautiful typefaces with robust OpenType features.My graphic design work has been featured in Martha Stewart Living, BRIDES Magazine, Apartment Therapy, Design Milk, Decor8, and elsewhere.
