3IP Book Texts Collection font


Random Discounted Bundle…

Our ten family Book Texts Collection™ has all you’ll need for publishing just about any sort of book-length project—all but one designed by masterful text-type designer Lars Bergquist. Serif faces ranging from fine to bold, headline-worthy fonts of several styles, a lovely sans, blacks, obliques, italics. Choose this bundle and save more than 60% off licensing each typeface separately. View Details »


American Scribe font


Random Historical Pen…

American Scribe™ is modeled after the hand of Timothy Matlack (1736–1826), a Philadelphia brewer and master penman. In 1776, when the Continental Congress ordered the Declaration of Independence to be “fairly engrossed on parchment,” the task fell to Matlack, whose masterful script was perfect for the first and most famous of American documents. 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 »


Bonnycastle font


Random Old Map Font…

The eponymous Bonnycastle™ replicates the bold, italic hand-lettering on the charts and maps of Sir Richard Henry Bonnycastle (1791–1847), an English officer and military engineer who served in the War of 1812 and settled in Canada. Comes with small caps, bunches of ligatures, stylistic alternates, and full Latin support. A member of both our Old Map Fonts Collection and Display Faces CollectionTry it out here »


Paestum 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 »


Treefrog font


Random Offbeat Font…

There’s nothing quite like Treefrog, which resembles writing made by someone who’s dipped a finger in spilled ink. This celebrated grunge font from the 1990s conjures a sense of whimsy, a flight of fancy. Fittingly, it comes with a series of droll ornaments (fish, chairs, garden tools). Oddly, it also has full Latin support—with more than 500 glyphs in all. A member of our Offbeat Grab Bag bundle. Try it out here »
