What is a letterpress font?

A letterpress font is a type of font designed to mimic the look of printing done with a letterpress, a traditional printing method where raised letters or images are inked and pressed onto paper, leaving a slight indentation or texture. Letterpress fonts often have thicker strokes, serifs, and slight imperfections that simulate the characteristics of this printing technique, such as ink smudges or uneven pressure. These fonts are commonly used in designs that aim to evoke a vintage, handcrafted, or artisanal feel, and are popular for wedding invitations, stationery, and retro branding.

What is a OpenType SVG Bitmap font?

An OpenType SVG Bitmap font is a specialized type of OpenType font that uses SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to store bitmap images for each glyph. Unlike traditional OpenType fonts, which are based on vector outlines, OpenType SVG Bitmap fonts allow designers to embed bitmap images (such as icons, logos, or detailed artwork) directly into the font file. This means that each character in the font can be a complex image, often with intricate details, textures, gradients, or colors, which would be difficult or impossible to reproduce with regular vector-based fonts. OpenType SVG Bitmap fonts are ideal for highly stylized designs, like logos, illustrations, or decorative text, where the visual richness of the glyphs is key. These fonts are supported by modern web browsers and design software, allowing for detailed, color-rich text on the web and in digital designs.

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?

About

Like letterpress printing? My new Display Font is full of letterpress texture I made the Lino Gothic from multiple prints made out of a linocut. It was then hand-printed on paper, giving it a weathered vintage woodtype effect. It also includes a free hand drawn script font.

If you like this font, you'll love my latest called Choose Love—https://crmrkt.com/dGepwK

The OpenType SVG bitmap font includes multiple versions of each uppercase character to create a realistic letterpress type. In fact, for each A-Z character, the SVG font has five alternatives, all printed slightly differently. Therefore, you can mix and match the alternatives to give your design a unique look and feel.

If this font were a celebrity it would be more Amy Winehouse than Amy Schumer it probably should be in rehab!

Display Font printed like letterpress

The typeface contains a tremendous amount of detail that a traditional font can’t, so it looks incredible.

In addition, it also includes a hand made marker pen typeface and a traditional vector typeface.

OpenType SVG Bitmap font

Lino Gothic uses the new OpenType-SVG Bitmap font format. A traditional vector font has one colour and no transparency. Lino Gothic has full transparency and thousands of shades of black and grey. The OpenType-SVG Bitmaps technology gives the font so much more detail than the old font format.

OpenType SVG, please read

OpenType-SVG bitmap is a new technology. Support is limited but improving. OpenType-SVG Bitmaps fonts only work in the latest versions of Photoshop CC2017+ and Illustrator CC 2018+, plus a handful of other native OSX apps. They also work on the more modern versions of windows again only in Photoshop CC2017+ and Illustrator CC 2018+. Windows user, you might not see your letters when you install the font, but it does work in the applications mentioned above. Adobe Indesign does not fully support OpenType-SVG bitmap fonts—so buy this at your own risk. You have been warned.

letterpress Image backups If your software is too old I’ve provided high-resolution images, so you can still manually compose letterforms inside Photoshop or your application of choice.

Due to the limitations of OpenType SVG fonts, Lino Gothic SVG and Vector doesn't include any diacritical marks.

About Simon Stratford

Hello, that's me or itsmesimon, aka Simon Stratford. I design everything from custom typefaces for advertising agencies to ready to buy fonts for designers (like you) to the occasional digital oil painting for TV and print.

I've spent over 20 years in the design industry, from teaching photoshop, web design, movie promotion, and branding agencies to digital marketing—I think I've done most jobs. I got tired of the rat race and the daily commute in London. So I stopped doing things I didn't what to do—and started doing things I did want to do—more creative things.

So if you want to be part of my tribe, follow me on

If you are interested in hiring me, I'd love to hear from you. simonstratford@hotmail.com

Thanks for looking
