Random Discounted Bundle…

Our Antique Text Fonts Collection™ is a bundle of four typefaces designed from real life source materials from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

Choose this bundle to save 40% off the price of licensing its member typefaces separately. View Details »


Douglass Pen font


Random Historical Pen…

Douglass Pen™, inspired by the hand of Frederick Douglass, reflects the boldness and determination of the famous American abolitionist, statesman, and orator. Although lacking the flair of some 1800s scripts, the font’s upright, condensed letterforms keep it impressively legible while remaining true to the period. Comes with contextual ligatures, alternate styles, ink blots, cross-outs—more than 800 glyphs in all. Try it out here »


TWT Prospero font


Random Book Text…

Inspired by the work of type designers of the late 1700s, TWT Prospero differs in that its contrasting strokes are not quite so exaggerated. This makes it appropriate for modern text blocks, while retaining the stylishness of the older faces that works well in display situations. This full-featured family includes standard and condensed fonts—seven styles in all. A member of our discounted Book Texts bundle. Try it out here »


Geographica Hand font


Random Old Map Font…

Geographica Hand is a replication of the hand-lettered titles on British map engravings of the 18th century. The font is as legible and versatile as Geographica Roman but more genuinely evocative of the source materials. Its 900 glyphs are feature-rich and include several sketchy cartographic illustrations—trees, churches, windmills, and the like. Geographica Hand is a member our Old Map Fonts CollectionTry it out here »


Paestum font


Random Display Face…

TWT’ eye-catching Paestum family was inspired by Greek inscriptions of 6th and 5th centuries BCE. (Its name comes from the Latin name for Poseidonia, a former Greek city south of Naples.) Comes with Light, Medium, and Heavy weights, each with upper- and lowercase alphabets, numerals, diacritics, and essential punctuation. Note: Paestum lacks unhistorical glyphs like currency symbols and the @ sign. Try it out here »


Marydale font


Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Marydale has three weights, Regular, Bold, and Black. It also has a particularly personable nature, rather like a chatty best friend. Better yet, it has a set of powerful OpenType features—true small capitals, dozens of ligatures, a less quirky stylistic set, and support for Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic languages. Among our most popular typefaces, and a member of our Modern Handwritten Fonts CollectionTry it out here »


Attic Antique font


Random Antique Text Font…

Akin to the Century faces, Attic Antique™ has the look of a weathered old serif from a century-old textbook. It’s surprisingly legible at any size, from 12-point text blocks to enormous billboard copy. Comes with roman and italic styles and plenty of OpenType-features, including true small caps, discretionary ligatures, and full Latin support—nearly 900 characters in all. A popular display face since 1993. Try it out here »


Speed Bump font


Random Offbeat Font…

Speed Bump does have upper- and lowercase Latin alphabets, but its chief appeal might be its vast array of wacky pictures (accessible via OpenType features or a character map utility). Need an apple, book, car, duck, eagle, or fish? They’re all there—plus a couple hundred more. Speed Bump has more than 500 glyphs and full Latin support. A member of our Offbeat Grab Bag bundle. Try it out here »
