I Heart NY Font

I Heart NY Font

I Heart NY font is a custom-crafted typeface built around one of the most enduring branding campaigns ever created — the iconic “I ❤ NY” emblem designed by Milton Glaser in 1977, originally conceived to revive public pride in New York State during a period of economic hardship and declining confidence in the city. Its warm, monospaced slab-serif character draws closest to ITC American Typewriter Pro Medium, which replicates the vintage charm and approachable weight of the original lettering. The closest free alternative is available for download below.

Few typographic identities have achieved the cultural reach of the I Heart NY font — a design so minimal and emotionally direct that it transcended its original tourism brief to become a global symbol reproduced on merchandise, street art, and adaptations across virtually every medium imaginable.
