This is a listing of all glyphs contained in the
font, including
OpenType variants that may only be accessible via OpenType-aware
applications.
Each basic character (“A”) is followed by Unicode variants of the same
character (Á, Ä…), then OpenType variants (small caps, alternates,
ligatures…). This way you can see all the variations on a single
character in one place.
You can use this font in any of the following places. Read the full EULA text for details about each license. If
you have a usage in mind that's not covered by these licenses, contact us and we'll see what we can do.
Desktop: for use on a desktop workstation
For the most common uses, both personal and professional, for use in desktop applications with a font
menu.
For example:
Install the font on your Mac OS X or Windows system
Use the font within desktop applications such as Microsoft Word, Mac Pages, Adobe InDesign, Adobe
Photoshop, etc.
Create and print documents, as well as static images (.jpeg, .tiff, .png)
Desktop licenses are based on the number of users of the fonts. You can change the number of users by
clicking the quantity dropdown option on Buying Choices or Cart pages.
Please be sure to review the listing foundry's
Desktop license agreement
as some restrictions may apply—such as use in logos/trademarks, geographic restrictions (number of
locations), and products that will be sold.
Adding users later:
Desktop licenses are cumulative. If you require a Desktop license that covers additional users, simply
place a new order for the same Desktop package, for the number of additional users.
Webfonts can be used on a single domain. Agencies responsible for multiple websites, for example web
design agencies or hosting providers, may not share a single webfont license across multiple websites.
Every time the webpage using the webfont kit is loaded (i.e, the webfont kit CSS which holds the
@font-face rule is called) the counting system counts a single pageview for each webfont within the
webfont kit.
For usage in graphic images shown on the website, consider a Desktop license instead as most allow for it.
MyFonts offers three types of webfont licenses: Annual, Pay Once, and Pay As You Go. Only one of these
three would be available for a given webfont. Click here to

This is a large group of typefaces inspired by those borders and patterns you see going across documents from the Middle Ages and Medieval times, eventually becoming this collection of fonts where you can scroll various repeating patterns across a page, for example. You can get a repeating pattern that scrolls seamlessly by repeating the same letter. The default text displaying on the web-page is bbbbbbbb, for example. There's over 2 dozen basic styles, and each style has 52 designs within it, using the characters Upper Case A - Z and lower case a - z, with the lower case being the negative/reverse colour of the Upper Case version, it will be the corresponding design just reverse coloured and with an edging strip. There's also a space - but nothing else.
The styles in these fonts usually have groups of six characters (A to F, G to L, M to R, S to X), and where the second group is a variation on the first - usually thicker lines - and the third grouping is another variation on that, usually thicker lines again, making the first 24 letters. (Sometimes there's three groups of eight characters). The pattern within a group normally starts off plain then gets busier as it progresses - such as there'd be a more complex pattern of circles and diamonds as you go through the letters. Then the letters Y & Z are somewhat different to the rest.
There's four versions starting with Z, and they're a little bit different, and they're grouped in fives - getting bolder as you progress through the letters, but with similar patterns within each group of 5, and that makes the first 25 characters. The letter Z character is extra busy. Again, lower case is the reverse colour of the Upper Case.
Mostly you can get patterns and borders that combine seamlessly by using letters within the same group of 6 or 8 (like maybe abdcedcb). There are a few occasions when that doesn't work out, because there may be circles or diamonds at the sides of the letters that don't match up with another letter that has a different pattern at the side. But you can create a pattern with the exact level of complexity you want perfectly easily. You can see examples of this in the poster images. Neighbouring letters without embellishments at the sides of the letters will usually fit together.
Aah Yes Fonts presents 10 brand-new and original font families, including Dascari, a funky and informal yet highly-readable font that would suit a large variety of modern graphics situations; and Cabragio which is a curvy font which flows attractively and dynamically, especially in its lower case letters, and is a quite distinct font.
Deltarbo is a conventional medium-heavy sans-serif that has modern clean lines and a slightly "rounded-rectangle" feel for great legibility.
There are two handwriting fonts in this new selection - Write is a fairly neat (perhaps even formal) handwriting font or print, useable for both display and text with clear and well-defined characters, and Dorkihand is genuinely left-handed writing, and veers more towards the grunge style of handwriting.
Tuzonie, Crockstomp and Rappica fall into the "misprinted, degraded or distressed" category, and give varying degrees of degradation to different block types, with internal and external letter-distress being available.
Smeethe manages to look almost out of focus while being both degraded and yet smooth, but not so degraded as to impair its legibility.
Meltifex puts at the user's disposal a full set of melting letters, which drip away at the bottom.
Dascari and Write have been created in an extensive variety of weights and styles.
All Aah Yes's Fonts' font packages contain both TTF or OTF formats, (i.e. both formats are included in the same zip file) and all the fonts are - as you would expect - comprehensively kerned, and contain an extensive selection of accented and non-English characters.
As far as the Font Authors are aware, the invented font names are all quite meaningless, none of them is something unspeakable in Etruscan or Hittite. (But if they are, please let us know.)
