T.D. House Fonts
(32 typefaces).
T.D. House is the studio behind Chicago Titans and Blade Gothic, and it works the athletic and gothic end of display type. Thirty-two releases that read as stadium signage, jersey numbering and tattoo-adjacent blackletter rather than as greeting card lettering.
Before you buy from this studio
Team faces in this library are usually layered. Check whether the fill, outline and shadow ship as separate files, since cutting a single flattened layer removes the two-colour look that sells the style.
