About Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders is the BBC One and Netflix crime drama created by Steven Knight, running from 2013 to 2022 across six seasons. It follows the Shelby family, a Birmingham gangster outfit operating in the political and social aftermath of the First World War. The title card uses an ultra-condensed thin display slab-serif, letterforms whose extreme vertical compression match the cropped, tailored silhouettes of the show's costuming.

Peaky Blinders quickly became one of the BBC's most exported dramas, with a global Netflix audience and a tightly-controlled visual identity carried across every promo, soundtrack release, and tie-in product. The show's typography is a key part of that identity: tall, narrow, and quietly menacing, the lockup reads as period-correct British wood-type signage updated for prestige television. The hand-cut wood-type register has since spread across competing period-crime drama branding.
