Zipper Regular

Zipper Regular was designed by the acclaimed typeface designer Philip Kelly in 1970 for Letraset. This font is a quintessential example of the Art Deco revival style that dominated the late 1960s and early 1970s graphic design landscape. It features extremely heavy vertical strokes contrasted by thin horizontal lines that give the characters a 'striped' or 'zippered' appearance, creating a sense of rhythm and vibration that is synonymous with the disco era.

As a decorative display typeface, Zipper was built to be used at large sizes where its intricate line work can be fully appreciated. While it lacks the legibility required for body text, its unique silhouette and retro charm make it an enduring choice for designers looking to capture a vintage, high-energy aesthetic. It remains one of the most recognizable 'fancy' fonts from the Letraset era, frequently used to evoke nostalgia for 20th-century pop culture.
