Velvet Countdown

Velvet Countdown is an original groovy 1970s disco-glam display font: an upright, high-contrast flared sans inspired by glossy disco posters and fashion-magazine headlines. Thick vertical stems pinch slightly at mid-height and swell out into flared terminals, while horizontals, bowl tops and joins are crisp hairlines. Bowls have vertical stress and curves taper smoothly from thick to thin. No serifs, ball terminals or swashes. Hairlines are 46 units and never thinner than 40 (checked by an automated thin scan), so they still show as a fine line at 24 px. Great for posters, party and event invites, shirts, labels, signs and retro crafts.

Font-only download: one ZIP with VelvetCountdown-Regular.ttf, a true CFF OpenType .otf, .woff and .woff2, plus README and LICENSE. Six files total. One Regular style with selective kerning.

Character set: uppercase A–Z, lowercase a–z, digits 0–9, space and non-breaking space, and these 20 punctuation marks/symbols: . , ! ? ' " : ; - & @ # $ % ( ) / + = *. No accented letters, smart quotes, alternates or ligatures. Use straight quotes and apostrophes.

No texture or distress. The font has clean solid outlines. It is a single-colour font, not a colour font: the plum background, gold gradient, shadow, sparkles and coloured arcs on the listing image are presentation only.

Size note: a display face, best from 24 px up. At 12–16 px the hairlines become very light, as with any high-contrast font, but the thick stems carry the letters and every counter stays open.

Quality checked: every glyph was checked in all four formats for coverage, clean closed outlines, spacing, metrics and kerning, passed the OpenType Sanitizer and FontBakery (zero fails and zero warnings on TTF and OTF), passed a 40-unit hairline thin scan, was checked for legibility on 24 px and 120 px word renders, and was rendered and reviewed large and at 12–24 px. Desktop installation, craft apps and physical production were not tested.
