About In the wood

In the Wood font – it's got that old-school American vibe, and the story behind it is a bit of an accident. You see, I was just doodling away on sheets of paper, experimenting with different letter shapes.

While I was messing about, the font took a dark twist into the horror genre. I mean, it's like looking at letters that were carved into creepy, weathered wood by some eerie, sinister hands. It gives off this foreboding vibe that's perfect for projects aiming to give that world of pure terror.

In a nutshell, In the Wood font is the go-to choice when you want your text to speak unsettling truths from the shadows. Or, to put it bluntly, it's got that gritty, grungy edge – just the way I like it.

If in the wood font were a celebrity

If the In the Wood font were a celebrity, it would embody the brooding and enigmatic essence of Benedict Cumberbatch. Much like the font's eerie and unsettling design, Cumberbatch is known for his ability to portray complex and mysterious characters with an air of sophistication.

Please note: OpenType SVG fonts, also known as color fonts, require specific software versions, including Photoshop CC 18.0+, Illustrator CC 22.0.0+, or InDesign CC 13.0.1+. If you're interested in installing colour fonts, my colour Font guide provides more information.

Every font is .OTF for desktop but variable font may add additional .TTF.

Open the Glyphs or OpenType panel in your design software. In Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, select your text and choose Window → Type → Glyphs to view and insert alternative characters. Ligatures and stylistic sets can be enabled through the OpenType panel. In Affinity apps, use the Typography panel. OpenType support varies between applications, so some features may not be available in simpler design programs.

Yes. The Desktop Licence covers creating logos, brand identities, packaging and other static designs. You may supply finished or outlined artwork to a client, but you cannot pass on the font files. Anyone who needs to install or work with the font must have their own licence.

The font remains non-exclusive, so other customers may also use it. If you need something unique to your brand, contact me about a modified or fully custom typeface.

Because fonts are digital products, purchases are generally non-refundable once the files have been downloaded. If a file is faulty, you accidentally purchased the same font twice or you need help with installation, please contact me and I’ll help resolve the issue.

If you have any problems with the font, please contact me through the website and I’ll be happy to help. Include the font name, your order number, the software and operating system you are using, and a screenshot if possible. This will help me identify the problem more quickly.

If the font is an OpenType SVG bitmap it preserves detailed textures, transparency and natural variations that ordinary vector fonts cannot. However, they are not supported by every application and may not work correctly in older software, Canva, Microsoft Office or some web-based design tools.

Because the letters contain high-resolution bitmap artwork, they cannot be enlarged indefinitely without eventually showing pixelation. Recolouring and converting text to outlines may also be limited. For the best results, use a recent version of Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign and create your artwork close to its final output size.
