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 »


Austin Pen font


Random Historical Pen…

Austin Pen™; replicates the penmanship of Texas empresario Stephen F. Austin in his famous 1834 prison diary. It comes with both a fine, legible regular style and a unique bold weight that looks like handwriting made with an over-inked pen. Comes with hundreds of ligatures and other OpenType alternates, ink blots and cross-outs, an uppercase hand-lettered alphabet, and full Latin support. Try it out here »


New Millennium Linear font


Random Book Text…

New Millennium Linear is one of a group three typefaces that share a common name and design philosophy. This monotone member has a smooth, geometric “Gothic” look gives it a personality markedly different from the sans. Comes with Regular, Bold, Oblique, and Bold Oblique Styles. All three complementary typefaces are available in the discounted New Millennium Series bundle. Try it out here »


Terra Ignota font


Random Old Map Font…

Terra Ignota is an interpretation of the hand-lettered legends and titles of Amerique Septentrionale, a 1650 map by French cartographer Nicolas Sanson. Our oldest handwritten font, it seems evocative of pirates or weathered adventurers of the day. This full-featured OpenType font appears in our Old Map Fonts, Age of Discovery, and Handwritten History bundles. 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 »


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 »


Broadsheet font


Random Antique Text Font…

Broadsheet™ is a two-style family that simulates the type on printed matter from the Colonial American period. Modeled after the text on actual 18th-century broadsides, this font gives you more double-s ligatures than you can dream of. Comes with true small caps, contextual and discretionary alternates, genuine period printer’s flourishes, and full Latin support. 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 »
