Texas Heroes Fonts Set font

Our Texas Heroes Fonts Set™ bundles together five fonts modeled after the handwriting of notable residents of Texas back in the days of the Republic—each with its own distinctive style.

Choose this collection to license a subset of perhaps the choicest fonts from our Historical Pen Fonts Collection™ at a savings of 50%. View Details »


Emily Austin font


Random Historical Pen…

Our Emily Austin™ font replicates the hand of the indominable Emily Austin (Bryan) Perry, one of the children of Moses Austin, of Austinville, Virginia. Like her famous brother, Stephen F. Austin, she settled in Texas as one of that region’s earliest colonists. In her travels, she wrote many a letter home to her husband—each showing her distinctively compact, legible, cursive hand. 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 »


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 »


Corsiva Italica font


Random Display Face…

The inspiration for Lars Bergquist’s Corsiva Italica is the classical cancellaresca corsiva of the 1500s (known in England at the time as “the Italian hand”)—e.g., the work of Italian calligrapher Giambattista Palatino. A specialty font perfect for lending designs a fine, historical, hand-lettered look—or even things like scripture, framed poetry, or Christmas cards. Try it out here »


Viktorie font


Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Our popular Viktorie handwritten font looks like lettering scribbled down in a hurry. Despite its unchained nature, this lively, capricious font is engaging, energetic, and legible. It’s also got a full complement of OpenType features, among them true small caps, many ligatures, and full Latin support—more than 800 glyphs in all. 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 »
