Bonhomme Richard font


Random Historical Pen…

NEW! Bonhomme Richard™ replicates the penmanship of John Paul Jones (1747–1792), a Scottish-American naval hero during the American Revolution. Named after Jones’ famous frigate (a name honoring Benjamin Franklin), the font has a legible elegance while evoking the distinctive cursive script of its late-1700s source material. Newest member of our Historical Pens bundle. Try it out here »


New Millennium font


Random Book Text…

New Millennium is a masterful modern typeface. Its look is both frank and stylish, and its feel is clean and clear. It’s also something of a novelty, in that its five styles include both serifs and sans-serifs: its Regular and Italic are flat-serifed fonts, yet their bold counterparts are sans (identical to those of New Millennium Sans). Add to these a heavy Headline serif, and you’ve got a true multi-purpose type tool. 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 »


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 »


Castine font


Random Antique Text Font…

Castine™ is named for a small, lovely coastal town in Maine, whose old cemetery has headstones dating back to the late-1700s. The font replicates the work of the tradesman who carved the epitaphs on these old stones, right down to their long, sharp serifs and hand-done unevenness. Comes with roman and italic styles, dozens of ligatures, a series of winged-skull ornaments, 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.
