About the Typeface

Batter Up Regular is a baseball-themed round slab serif typeface. The typeface has been designed for old school layouts and team jerseys. Batter Up was inspired by the Key Street logo, and fleshed out using simple modular forms.

Over the years, Batter Up has taken on a number of dramatic overhauls. Many of the characters have been entirely replaced several times since the initial release.

Changelog

Version 5.005 - January 20, 2025

Our latest update adds variable font functionality, and fixed instances across three new axes.

The first axis that we worked through was Weight. Batter Up is now available in lighter and heavier weights. Our work on weights necessitated a reimaging of how the corner curves function - you may notice that Batter Up is no longer as square as it once was.

The next axis we worked through was slant. Batter Up now slants both forwards and backwards, maxing out at 12 degrees in both directions. Endpoints are included for the Regular weight.

The final axis that we designed and added to the variable font is width. End-points have been included for the Regular weight.

Although the slant and width endpoints have only been added as separate font files for the Regular weight, the variable font version does allow the use of multiple axes at the same time - that means you can generate slanted expanded extra-light text, or backslanted condensed extra-bold text, for example.

A few additional characters have been added in the realm of punctuation, including a few French accents and quotation marks.

Because of the nature of the changes made to the Batter Up font in order to ensure interpolation across the weight, width, and slant axes, we are unable to generate an updated version of Batter Up Outline. The Batter Up Outline thread has therefore been deprecated. Batter Up Italic is now Batter Up Slanted.

We very much hope you enjoy our latest release of Batter Up, now available as a variable font!

Version 4.201 - January 1, 2021

For our latest update, Batter Up needed an overhaul. Too many of the letter proportions were based on numerical calculations, and not on how they appeared aesthetically. The latest update, V4.201, involved a lot of small revisions intended to improve the way the typeface looks overall. Includes changes to A, D, E, F, H, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, T, U, V, W, X, Z, 7, 8, 0, and more.
