About Lino Gothic
Lino Gothic font draws inspiration from the art of linocut printing, where each character is meticulously carved out of linoleum blocks and hand-printed with diminishing ink, resulting in a vintage hand-printed aesthetic.
What sets it apart are its OpenType SVG bitmap features. Each uppercase letter offers five alternatives, each with a unique print texture, allowing you to craft your distinctive style. The level of detail in this typeface is way better than a traditional font, giving your designs an extraordinary level of detail.
As a bonus, you'll also receive a handmade marker pen font and a classic vector typeface.
