Uptown Sans

About Uptown Sans

What if Jim Flora (a record cover designer from the 50s), Saul Bass, and Eric Carle got together for tacos and made a typeface? That’s the vibe of Uptown Sans. It’s a little weird, a little loud, and full of energy. It’s sure to help you express yourself in just the right way.

Cool, so what’s it good for?

Using it in a keynote presentation
Giving large headlines personality
Helping you realize Helvetica can be boring, and that life is short, also that you should have fun
Plastering it on your new food truck

How about that name?

Uptown Sans gets its name from the city of Charlotte, a beautiful place that’s got some of the absolute best people. It may also funk you up, to borrow a turn of phrase from a pretty fun song.

Features

Have more impact while using less space

Some letters take up needless space, but Uptown Sans is way more efficient.

Supports all Latin-based languages

Uptown Sans supports all Latin languages. So go nuts with English, Español, and lots more!

Contextual alternates

The magic of OpenType allows each instance of a letter to be unique, giving your letters more life!

Go big & get loud

Uptown Sans is made to help headlines sing. The larger you use it, the better. The recommended minimum size is 36pt.

Designed with love

You should buy your typefaces from someone who loves making letters, and that’s exactly the sentiment behind Uptown Sans. Nearly a year of labor went into making this what it is today.
