About Kirsty Font Family


Step aboard the Kirsty Express—a typeface that chugs along the tracks of history while steaming full speed into the future. This isn’t just a font; it’s a time machine disguised as letterforms, whisking you back to the golden age of railroads with every curve and angle.

Kirsty’s DNA is steeped in the robust, no-nonsense lettering of 19th-century locomotives. Its sharp, Latin-serif design and distinctive octagonal shape evoke the grit and glory of vintage railroad signage, reimagined for the modern era. Released in 2000, Kirsty quickly became the go-to typeface for designers looking to infuse their work with a dash of industrial romance. But Kirsty isn’t content to simply mimic the past. It’s a masterful blend of nostalgia and innovation, equally at home in steampunk fantasies and dieselpunk dystopias. Picture it adorning the side of a brass-plated airship, or gracing the control panel of an alternate-history war machine. Kirsty doesn’t just complement these aesthetics—it amplifies them, adding an extra layer of authenticity to any retro-futuristic design.

Now boasting a proper lowercase, five weights, and obliques, Kirsty is more versatile than a Swiss Army knife. Its sleek, angular lines command attention in headlines and logos, while the small caps add a touch of Victorian elegance to body text. Just remember, not all languages support small caps, so check the glyph set before you start designing your next steam-powered novel. Kirsty’s linguistic reach is as expansive as a transcontinental railway. It supports most Latin-based European languages, ventures into the Cyrillic territories, explores the Greek isles, and even makes a stop in Vietnam. From the fjords of Norway to the steppes of Kazakhstan, Kirsty speaks the language of your audience with industrial-strength clarity.

Ready to coal-fire your designs with some vintage vigor? All aboard the Kirsty Express. Whether you’re crafting a Neo-Victorian brand identity or designing signage for an imaginary diesel-punk metropolis, Kirsty delivers your message with the power and precision of a well-oiled locomotive.
