Sailing Club | A Nostalgic Serif Revival
Introducing Sailing Club – a brand new nostalgic serif revival that will make you want to steal your all mom’s vintage college sweatshirts.
I’ve been loving how the 90s and early 00s are coming back, and I can’t stop thinking about the sweatshirts you’d see Princess Diana wear around with bike shorts (plus, my dad gave me a vintage sweatshirt that is always and forever a go-to).
Sailing Club is a beautifully nostalgic upper and lowercase typeface that works best as a focal display text (think logos, headers, pretty quotes, calls to action, etc.).
The upper and lowercase give it great versatility, but I honestly just can’t get over a tightly kerned all caps. It’s too good.
I’ve also been loving combining the regular and italic, especially in cool, longer quotes (see the “Join Us” graphic, image #5)

Features
One thing to note about Sailing Club is the letter spacing. It was spaced for clean reading and intentional balance, so I recommend setting the spacing a little tighter if you want to create the all caps display look found in many of these images (around -20 to -35 should do!).
- Sailing Club Regular (uppercase & lowercase)
- Sailing Club Italic (uppercase & lowercase)
- Numbers & punctuation
- Foreign language support

But wait, how can I use this font?
Can I use these fonts for my logo?
Yes! You'll need a desktop license to use this font for your logo or other print designs. If you'd like to use the font on your website (outside of a rasterized image), you'll need a web license as well.
What’s the difference between licenses?
Each font license covers different usage situations. For example, a desktop license will cover the functions of most design work (i.e. making logos, print materials, social media promos, etc.).
A web license, however, is needed when you want to use the font on a website (i.e. using a custom font for your website headers). You won't need a web license if you create images with the text that you upload to your site – for example, a logo on a website is just fine with a desktop license because it's an image, not editable type.
An e-pub license is specifically for ebooks, so if you wanted to use a font for your chapter titles and publish the book to Kindle or another ebook format, you'll need an e-pub license.
App licenses are appropriate when you'd like to use the font as non-editable text in an app. Note: this is not a server license, so you cannot use an app license for print-on-demand or customizable design apps (i.e. Canva, Over, etc.).
How many licenses do I need?
You'll need as many licenses as users. So if you work at a design firm where 30 designers on your team will need access to the font, you'll need to purchase 30 of the appropriate license.
Desktop License Use includes one license, which can be used for:
- Logos
- Branding
- Non-editable Invitations
- Packaging
- Products
- Canva
Desktop License Use does not accommodate:
- App use or web use where customers can use the font to customize products (i.e. if you're creating an app or site that uses embedded fonts to customize, like Over or Minted.com)
- Ebook use
- Downloadable/customizable PDFs
- Server upload (if you need more than one designer to have access to the files, a separate license needs to be purchased for each designer or person requiring the files)

Take the Quiz:
Which license(s) do I need?
*Note: Based on your project, you may need two different licenses so keep in mind you may have to take the quiz twice depending on your needs!
