About Creative Market Fonts

Fonts are at the heart of Creative Market. Here you’ll find more than %totalResults% typefaces, each created by independent artists from around the world. Why do fonts matter? We believe that fonts have the capacity to tell a story, communicate ideas , stir emotion , and express intent. When you choose a font you’re not just choosing letters on a screen, you’re choosing from thousands of voices, styles, moods, and perspectives. Our catalog covers a wide stylistic range. Need a retro pixel vibe for your throwback design? Maybe you found our site looking for a sleek variable font to adapt seamlessly across devices. Perhaps a display font for your new site header? Whatever it is, we’ve got you covered. Our library includes everything from expressive scripts to no-nonsense monospaced families. We pride ourselves on unique, thoughtful design of every kind, which is how we’ve become the go-to destination for unique font families. If you aren’t sure where to start, check out some of our handpicked curated finds or best sellers .

What are the different types of fonts?

While there are many ways to differentiate fonts, the main different categories to start with are serif, sans serif, script, blackletter, display/decorative, and non-Western. However, this is a nuanced topic - with a rich history, a range of opinions, and many different approaches. For a more detailed breakdown, check out our blog on different font styles here .

What is the difference between a font and a typeface?

The difference between a font and a typeface is that a typeface refers to the overall design, while a font is a specific style, size, or weight within that typeface. This is a bit confusing on its face - we think it’s a bit easier to reference an example. So if “Neue Swiss” is your typeface, "Neue Swiss Bold 12pt" might be your font. Of course, as you’ll find with anything in this wonderful world of fonts, nothing is so simple. For a fuller, more nuanced take (or if you just want to nerd out) you can check out a whole article about this topic here: What is a Typeface and How Is it Different from a Font?

What Font License is Right for Me?

A desktop license is the most common license and covers most commercial font usage. You can create graphic designs (logos, signs, etc.) and products (mugs, t-shirts, hats, etc.) for yourself, or your client(s). These are great for logos and branding, movie titles and captions, PDFs, cards, signs and print merchandise. Products may be sold for profit as long as the letters are not the main selling point of your product (like a house number or stamp set). Embedding fonts is not allowed with this license with a few exceptions (such as a PDF reports). All licenses on our site are perpetual, which means you pay once and use it forever. To use a font on your website, you’ll need a web font license. This type of license allows you to embed font files into the CSS code on your site. From there, site visitors can then see and temporarily use your embedded fonts! Web licenses on Creative Market are priced by pageview limits (essentially this means they are priced according to traffic). Beyond the web, we’ve also got you covered for apps and publications. Our app licenses allow you to embed font files in app code. These are best for things like games, mobile apps, and web apps. Our e-pub licenses are best for ebooks and digital magazines - where you would want to embed the fonts directly into your files. Here’s a helpful walk through on font use in e-books! Creative Market also offers Worry-Free font licensing for enterprise clients. Learn more about our enterprise business offerings here . Still have questions about our licenses? Get more information about all of our font licenses here . You can also chat with our licensing assistant, Creative Mark, who can help answer questions. You can knock on his door in the bottom right corner of your desktop screen.

About

Early adopter price , only $49! Normal Price $99.

Typographers — and clients alike — are often obsessed with novelty. Be it self-consciously peculiar details with made-you-look appeal — or just austere, detached minimalism, constant seek for novelty in typography often becomes an end in itself. A lot of times, an old trick is better than a bagful of new ones — all you might actually need would be a good, reliable font family with soul, providing that comforting, familiar feel. This is where Forrest comes in: a type family born out of a lifelong passion for digging into old archives of fonts, in search for that good ol’ type — simple, honest, made with love. But make no mistake, Forrest is as savvy as fonts come, packed with smart features. Handsome swashes, cute small capitals and old style figures all add a bit of flair and enable a highly sophisticated and contemporary approach to typography.

The perfect blend of timelessness and innovation. I obsess over details that most people either miss or don't care about. I spent months researching and looking at so many Serif Fonts looking for the *perfect* font that they were starting to all bleed together. And then I came across Forrest and it was like a breath of fresh air. I'm currently working on a multi-year, large-scale, limited-run heirloom project that needed JUST the right font to balance the immeasurable weight of the content in the project while making the end-product feel "ever-ancient" and yet "ever-new". Forrest delivered on that in a major way for this project. I look forward to the day that I hold the physical work in my hands. Thank you, Emil!

Hi Adam, Thanks a lot for your profound (and positive!) review. I'm delighted that you saw what Forrest is about - familiar enough, quirky enough, and took the time to write about it! Would be great to see the final result too! Maybe you can tag @fenotypefonts on instagram etc?

The "JUST RIGHT" combo of a classic serif with friendly softened corners and just enough "hey, look at me, I am expressive" look.

I really wanted to love this font, but there aren't enough letters with swashes to make it work for the designs I'm trying to create which have proved to be extremely frustrating and a waste of money. Very disappointed in this font especially with all the hype it's getting as a must have font of 2023. For the price, I would expect a completed font package that can be used.

Replying to Shonda Ramsey

Hi Shonda, I'm really sorry for the disappointment. Forrest is more of a classic type family with the features being Old Style Numerals, Small Caps and six weights + Italics. I would have considered the font complete even without a single Swash, but I believe I get what you were after. I'll contact you shortly.
