About

The Soft Type Collection is designed for knitters to chart out their typographic projects. Jersey is a sporty, versitile sans-serif typeface, knittable at various sizes.

Each typeface has a “Regular” and “Charted” version, and some include multiple scales so you can fit type on your knits, no matter the project's size. Check out the non-charted version Jersey 15.

In this collection, the number following the typeface's name indicates the height of the capital letters for that typeface.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
