Designing for football means creating something that resonates far beyond the pitch. For Arsenal designer and lifelong supporter David Rudnick (ex_terra) took on that challenge with Rocastle, a bespoke three-weight blackletter typeface designed to carry the club’s identity into fashion, art, music and wider culture.

Developed with Arsenal’s Creative Studio lead Johnnie Campbell, the typeface draws on Arsenal’s rich visual history, from gothic crests and paper tickets to the memorabilia cherished by generations of supporters. Named in tribute to legendary player David “Rocky” Rocastle, it’s a project rooted as much in personal connection as in design, honouring a player whose legacy of hard work, humility and loyalty continues to echo through the stands.

Head to the link in our bio to read the full piece, where Olivia_Hingley sits down with David Rudnick and Johnnie Campbell to discuss the years of research, hand-drawing and refinement behind the Rocastle typeface, as well as David’s dream application for the family… #ItsNiceThat
