What is the Strayhorn® font?

Happy to work behind the scenes, yet able to take center stage. Sophisticated, yet never intimidating. Designer Michael Harvey has imbued a typeface with the personality of Billy Strayhorn, jazz great Duke Ellington’s right-hand man and collaborator. Strayhorn, a sans serif adaptation of Harvey’s Ellington, eloquently conveys a dynamic range of emotions. The light and regular weights of Strayhorn provide easy legibility at text sizes, while the subtle curves and lilting terminals - not quite serifs - add calligraphic flair at display sizes.

The companion Small Caps and Oldstyle Figures package ensures that, like its versatile namesake, Strayhorn’s artistic repertoire is virtually unlimited.
