Sports & Jersey Fonts

By structure they are mixed: 12 display, 2 pixel, 2 stencil and 1 script, out of 17 in all. The largest group, 12 display fonts, is more than half of the page; all of them are also on Display Fonts. 1 of the 17 is in the free collection (League Sans), so a free account can download it as TTF; the other 16 download with Pro, Studio or a Font Pass. Every font on this page is a single Regular style, so there is no bold or light to switch to within a family. The tags they share most, after the page's own, are bold with 14, retro with 14, poster with 13 and t shirt with 13. Some are drawn on one letter structure: League Sans and Ration Stencil differ only in effect, slant or width, and 6 fonts here belong to such groups.

5 of the 7 fonts whose slant could be measured lean right, by a median of about 8°, while 2 stand upright. The steepest is Velocity Stripes at about 10°; the other 10 have strokes too varied to give one angle. Widths vary a lot: an average lowercase letter runs from 57.5% of the cap height in Dugout Script to 106.4% in Jersey Slab. The page median is 92.1%, 14% wider than the 80.5% median of the whole library, so the same words take a longer line than in an average library font. Lowercase x-heights of these sports & jersey fonts sit between 55.5% and 100% of the cap height, with a median of 78.7%; the library median is 71.8%, and 2 have lowercase as tall as the capitals. How dark a line of these sports & jersey fonts looks ranges from 20.6% ink coverage in Pixel Scoreboard Narrow up to 55.3% in Dugout Script; the median here, 43.8%, is 26% darker than the library's 34.7%. Of the 6 whose stroke contrast could be read from the o, 5 keep close to one stroke weight in every direction and 1 is heavier across than down, a reversed contrast. 15 of the 17 carry an effect drawn into every letter: varsity outline on 10, stripe on 3 and military stencil on 2.

Beyond Latin, 4 fonts cover Chinese and 2 cover Hebrew, Japanese kana and Korean Hangul; the largest character set is Racer Slab's 3,966, the smallest 148. Accents are covered across the set: every font has accented and special Latin letters, 53 at the median, so names like Zoë or Björn set without gaps. 15 of the 17 adjust spacing with kerning pairs (a median of 142); Alumni Roman has the most, 288. In the OpenType tables, 2 have OpenType ligatures or alternates; as for numbers, 2 have tabular figures that line up in columns of prices or scores.
