King's Gambit

by Matthew Welch · Website

King's Gambit is a high-contrast stencil serif from Matthew Welch that manages to feel both sharp and sophisticated, with elegant proportions and deliberate cuts that keep it from reading as military or industrial. The contrast between thick and thin strokes gives it a fashion-editorial quality, closer to a Didone than a typical stencil face. Built for headlines, luxury branding, and display work where you want refinement with a structural edge.
