Kensington

Information

An altogether quirky and condensed affair.

Kensington is a narrow, stately, and eclectic sans serif inspired by the exquisitely compact and charming area of West London. From the stately porticos of Victorian-style townhomes, to the quaint, cobble-stoned mews, the ornate museums and embassies, the spires and steeples peeking through the chimney tops, and the whimsical gardens—Kensington’s appeal is in its densely packed variety. This typeface offers the same: a compact charm that you can’t quite tie to one style or time.

Available in 5 weights plus italics, the typeface can sway from elegant to bold. Unexpected flourishes in letters like the “x”, “g”, and “k”, lend whimsicality to any text. Kensington features international language support, stylistic alternates, and ornamental dingbats which we affectionately call Kensingdings. Designed by Jennifer Hood of Hoodzpah.
