EmpireState

EmpireState font by Nick Curtis is a free retro display font that channels Art Deco signage with a bold, double-line outline and long horizontal bars that feel like chrome trim. The squared geometry and tight rhythm give your headline instant structure, like a marquee locked into place.

Using EmpireState, you’ll get punch on posters, album covers, diner menus, event flyers, movie-title cards, brand marks, and vintage-inspired packaging. Let the wordmark breathe—go a touch wider with tracking, and pair this free font with a plain neo-grotesk sans for body copy so the outline shine stays the star.
