Ignite your creative energy with FTY Old Sport, a revolutionary slab serif font collection born from the legacy of hand-lettering mastery and the rebellious spirit of modern typographic experimentation. Inspired by Alf Becker’s iconic work in *Signs of the Times*, this font family is the result of a fearless collaboration between two visionary typographers—Mike Adkins and James L Stirling—whose shared obsession with boldness and structure has led to a collection that’s as functional as it is striking.
Two Pillars of Power: Athletic & College, Designed to Deliver
FTY Old Sport builds on two foundational styles: Athletic and College. Athletic delivers raw, uncompromising strength—perfect for headlines, sport branding, and high-impact designs where power and confidence are non-negotiable. Its thick slabs, solid weight, and confident stance make it ideal for posters, jerseys, event banners, and digital signage.
College takes depth to the next level. This multi-layered suite contains **four distinct fonts** that can be used individually or stacked for dramatic, textured effects. Whether you’re building a retro university identity, designing merch, or crafting vintage-inspired editorial layouts, the layered components allow for rich dimensionality and visual intrigue without sacrificing legibility or clarity.
Each style is crafted for maximum visual punch and design flexibility. The bold slab serifs cut through the noise, while the balanced proportions and tight kerning ensure consistent performance across sizes and applications.
Built for Professionals: Features That Matter
This font collection is engineered for real-world impact with a suite of pro-level features:
- Five high-quality fonts in both TrueType and OpenType formats for maximum compatibility
- Extensive multilingual support covering Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts for global design projects
- Stylistic alternates to vary character forms and avoid repetition in design
- Ligatures for smoother, more natural typography in long text blocks and headlines

These aren’t just add-ons—they’re essential tools that elevate your design from good to unforgettable.
