USTA— Introducing the future of coaching

xx

USTA, the national governing body for tennis, is making a long-term investment in coaches with a program and platform tailored to their needs. Their aim is to win over and onboard full- and part-time coaches and motivate those considering certification. To amplify the coaching effort, the USTA needed a strategic design partner to frame, design and launch a bold new sub-brand.








To carry the equity of the parent brand into the new wordmark and system, we extended the typographic language of the USTA into a fully custom typeface, ‘USTA Sans. 

I created the base letter glyphs (A-Z) to create the custom wordmark along with a workable typeface to use in the first round of design directions to sell the idea of a custom typeface to the client. We later worked with Schick Toikka to expand the typeface to include numbers, diacritics, and puncutation. 





A system of container boxes offers easy adaptability for both internal design teams and coaches with no design experience at all. The system is flexible, for use across a wide variety of touch-points, including the brand’s digital learning platform.
