FC St. Pauli
A bespoke type family designed for FC St. Pauli by Sportsfonts on commission from branding agency Karl Anders, with letterforms subtly left-leaning as a nod to the club's anti-authoritarian politics.
About
Created for the Hamburg-based football club known for its countercultural identity, the typeface balances versatility across a full family with a quiet conceptual conceit: its core styles lean leftward as a formal expression of political attitude. The brief from Karl Anders called for something as distinctive as the club itself, steering away from conventional sports typography. Progressive organisations and initiatives can request the fonts at no cost.
