Author's note

Kingthings Sans by Kevin King is a free retro geometric sans serif with broad, weighty letters and a distinctly 1970s silhouette. Rounded forms meet sharp diagonal cuts, giving the alphabet a lively, custom-drawn structure. The changing stroke widths keep it from feeling mechanical.

Fashion labels and music venues could use it for branding that favors oversized shapes and an offbeat vintage edge. Its sculptural curves also suit album covers, event posters, and merchandise, especially for projects drawing on glam, disco, or playful modernism. In product identity, the unusual joins and sweeping letter shapes can become a recognizable logo device rather than ordinary supporting text.
