Can’t find license for American Typewriter Semibold

I have used American Typewriter Semibold on a packaging project for a client. I used it because it was available on Adobe Illustrator and I thought I can buy a license later.

But I can’t find where to buy this typeface. It exists only in Adobe. Does my client need to purchase the license if it’s free on Adobe?

I couldn’t find a Google Fonts picker picker that worked for me, so I built my own. Its Free!!

Reddit, being Reddit, we’ve been helpfully given a lot of free tools in search of, let’s say, product-market-fit. Curiously as people have been more interested to try Claude Code for online tools, this last year we’ve had 22 different approaches to organizing, finding, comparing, pairing, and seeing open source google fonts.

Pick your own picker… today!! wordmark.nyc/fontchooserchooser

Just finished this rounded pixel font duo. Meet Glitchy Arcade!

It took me a while, but I am happy with the result. I always wanted something like that for my own projects - a rounded, softer approach to a pixel font. With an option to mix and match regular and outline versions for pseudo-3D or glitch effects using layering and transparencies. Hope you guys like this one!

Fonts for Readability

Taking care of the pagination and formatting for a friend who wants to print their book.

Heard Times (not Times New Roman) is great for readability, but I’m curious about other serif fonts.

Thanks!

IMD Grotesk 2.0 is out and it goes variable and international! | Free to download

The IMD Grotesk is a free and open source typeface licensed under the Open Font License. I published it first earlier this year. It was quite rough, had issues with consistency and anchor points - but it was very well recieved, thank you for that! I made it in FontForge, a fantastic open source font creator - but it has its limits. Since, i switched to Font Creator and that allowed me to go all out this time:

I reworked some glyphs entierly, fixed anchor points issues, refined the widths, added a variable font file and more than 200 new characters to support almost 200 latin based languages.

You can download it for free at imd-grotesk.com .

Next version will hopefully have a slanted axis, an open GitHub project, better kerning and even more supported langauges.

Enjoy!

If anyone wants to follow the process: I will post updates also on my Instagram. But a GitHub project is planned!

Edit: Download is fixed and works now!

HELP ME FIND A FONT

Has anyone ever made a font where it replaces the I and I with 1 and the e and E with 3? Or can someone make it? All I really want is just a basic font but the i and e look like 1 and 3. Also if possible a star for the period.

Font license for Procreate

Hi! I'm new to fonts and graphic design and need information on purchasing and licensing fonts. I'm starting a new social media account advocating for a cause close to my heart, and there's a font I'd like to purchase to use in deisgns for social media carousels. I'll be using Proceate on my iPad to create the designs. Will I need to purchase an app license to use and create with the font and will the license only cover one app or multiple (ex. CapCut, Edits)?

This font looks perfectly normal to humans but wreaks havoc on AI

A new “AI-proof” font was designed to be hard for AI agents to scrape, but you can’t tell by just looking at it. Unlike other anti-AI fonts that use letters that are difficult for bots to read, ShieldFont swaps out words behind the scenes to poison the data that automated scrapers take without permission.

ShieldFont was designed as part of a project created by a group of professionals including the Brazilian creative studio Seneda & Abrucio and the Danish type foundry PlayType. It shields text from large language models (LLMs) by garbling sentences in the HTML source code, leaving automated scrapers to sift through sentences filled with decoy words that make a sentence incoherent. Thanks to a custom font on a backend, though, the real text is displayed for a human reader to see.

ShieldFont works using ligatures, the technical term in typography when two letters next to each other in a word are combined into a single glyph. Ligatures are designed for aesthetics, so letter combinations like fi in “fish” or fl in “flow” look naturally spaced instead of visually cluttered. When a program sees these specific letters next to each other, it swaps two characters for one that combines the letters into a single glyph. ShieldFont works in a similar way, except instead of letters, it swaps out whole words.

“We didn’t invent a new font capability, just pointed to an old one that hadn’t been used this way before,” Felipe Petroni, a creative director who was part of the project’s leadership, tells Fast Company.

Why fonts doesn't work on Win 11?

Howdy!

I upgraded from Windows 10 to 11. I work as a designer, so I have a large number of different fonts on my computer. The installation files were stored on a flash drive. You know, the ones where you can select all of it and click "Install for all users." Since all the fonts had been in the system folder on the /C: drive, I had to reinstall them after disk formatting and the system reinstall. But a significant portion of them now appear as a file .fon with broken characters and an incorrect name (look pics).

This is some kind of incompatibility with Win 11? Is there any way to recover these files as a proper fonts, or not?
