{"product_id":"sltf-thorn-craft-retro-swash-serif-typeface","title":"SLTF Thorn Craft - Retro Swash Serif Typeface","description":"\u003cp\u003eSLTF Thorn Craft is a retro swash serif typeface. One heavy display weight where soft, full curves meet sharp, flat serifs, with swashes in the tradition of 1970s headline lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet it as it comes and it reads as a warm, chunky soft serif. The curves are full and the counters stay open enough to hold on a poster or a jar label. Four lowercase letters, h, m, n and u, are drawn in a cursive form, which gives a word a slight handwritten swing with no decoration at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there you can take it in two directions. Stylistic Set 1 swaps those four letters for upright forms, for a straighter and more formal word shape. Stylistic Set 2 brings the swashes: an r that reaches over the letter that follows it, curled tails on h, k, m and n, a g with a long loop below the baseline and a y that sweeps back under the word. Each one is applied letter by letter, so a word can carry one flourish or five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 20 ligatures as well, including Th, Tk, ff, fi, fk, ft and ll, drawn so the heavy strokes join cleanly where they would otherwise collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ligature and alternate also has its own Unicode slot, so you can copy and paste them into apps that have no OpenType panel, Canva included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e790 glyphs in total. Lining and old style figures in proportional and tabular widths, fractions, superscripts and subscripts, case sensitive punctuation and arrows. Language support covers over 100 Latin based languages, including Vietnamese, Turkish, Romanian, Catalan and the Central European languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits logos and wordmarks, packaging, food and drink labels, cafe and restaurant identities, posters, magazine headlines, book and record covers, merchandise and social graphics. It is a display typeface, at its best a few words at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT YOU GET\u003cbr\u003e- SLTF Thorn Craft Regular, one display weight\u003cbr\u003e- 790 glyphs\u003cbr\u003e- 20 ligatures\u003cbr\u003e- 13 alternate letters across 2 stylistic sets\u003cbr\u003e- Lining, old style and tabular figures\u003cbr\u003e- OTF for desktop, WOFF and WOFF2 for web\u003cbr\u003e- Support for 100+ languages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFAQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat kind of font is SLTF Thorn Craft?\u003cbr\u003eA heavy soft serif display typeface with optional swashes, in the tradition of 1970s headline faces.
