3IP Offbeat Grab Bag font


Random Discounted Bundle…

Our wacky Offbeat Grab Bag™ contains three hard-to-categorize fonts that still might prove handy: Treefrog (calligraphy from a broken inkpen), Chromosome (simulated labelmaker tape), and Speed Bump (with its hundreds of zany pictures). They’re kind of like tools you’re happy to find in the back of your utility drawer. And affordable! Choose this bundle to save 50% off licensing these three fonts separately. View Details »


Military Scribe font


Random Historical Pen…

Military Scribe™ is modeled after the compact, legible script on the mid- to late-1770s muster rolls of the 10th Regiment of Foot, a British military unit that saw action at the outset of the American Revolution in the Battle of Lexington and Concord as well as Bunker Hill. Comes with scores of OpenType features, including historical ligatures, contextual alternates, and ink blots—more than 1,000 characters in all. Try it out here »


Pressroom font


Random Book Text…

Pressroom, as a modern “legibility face,” is designed to be easy-to-read under even the harshest conditions. Ample x-height, robust serifs, minimalist descenders—but still with its share of grace and allure. This sturdy typeface comes with five styles: Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, and Headline. An all-purpose serif when you’re looking to make a statement. A member of our discounted Book Texts bundle. Try it out here »


Antiquarian font


Random Old Map Font…

Antiquarian™ evokes the rugged hand-lettered legends on 300-year old maps—specifically the illustrations in Henri Abraham Chatelain’s Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam in the early 1700s. The font features true small capitals, alternate uppercases, scores of ligatures, a series of period cartographic ornaments, and support for Greek and Latin alphabets—more than 1,000 glyphs in all. Try it out here »


Sekhmet font


Random Display Face…

Sekhmet, named for the lion-headed war goddess of ancient Egypt, does indeed have a sort of feline, forward-directed energy. Noteworthy are the slight slope of its book-weight Roman and its calligraphic Italic. A multi-use display face, Sekhmet nevertheless also works well in (especially larger) text blocks. A member of our discounted Display Faces bundle. Try it out here »


Pumpkinseed font


Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Our Pumpkinseed family has eight styles, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Black, plus obliques of all four weights. A tidy sort of hand-drawn sans serif, this typeface has a jaunty, angular nature. It’s also got plenty of OpenType features, like true small caps, old-style and lining figures, scads of ligatures, and full Latin support—nearly 800 characters in all. A member of our Modern Handwritten Fonts CollectionTry it out here »


Bonsai font


Random Antique Text Font…

A personal favorite among the text fonts I’ve designed, Bonsai™ is, well, top-heavy. But it’s this very top-heaviness—as if printed with worn or off-center lead type— that gives it a peculiar allure. It’s soft, warm, friendly, legible, accessible. Its roman and true italic styles have plenty of OpenType features, true small capitals, and Latin Plus support. (Note its use in the heads on this website!) Try it out here »


Chromosome font


Random Offbeat Font…

Chromosome pretty much exactly replicates the look you get on 1960’s-era labelmaker labels. The font has four styles: Light, Heavy, Reversed Light, and Reversed Heavy. (The latter two knock the text out of whatever color label you specify.) It’s got only uppercase characters, but it does offer support for Central and Eastern European languages.
