About typeface names
This page is a list of names for a typeface you have made or are about to make: a font name for a student project, a font family name for a retail release. It is not a text styler or a font preview tool.
Most typeface names follow a small set of habits, and the list is built on them. The commonest is a proper noun plus a classification word, so the name says what the design is before anyone sees it: Ardenmoor Sans, Calloway Serif, Lindholm Grotesk, Boxcar Slab, Tabstop Mono. Text families borrow bookish words (Marrowby Text, Flyleaf Book, Ravenscar Old Style), scripts and handwriting faces describe the tool or the occasion (Dip Nib Pen, Garden Party Script, Grocery List Hand), and display faces often stand alone as one loud word (Brouhaha, Monolith, Ovalith). Revival-style names pair a surname with a number or a period word, as in Pemberton No. 5 or Ashworth Old Face.
Tens of thousands of fonts are on sale, so treat every entry as a starting point. Nobody has looked these names up in the font libraries, and some are bound to be in use already. Search the big font marketplaces and the free libraries for your shortlist before you publish anything.
How to choose typeface names
- Search before you fall for a name. Type the first word into the large font marketplaces, the free font libraries and a search engine with the word 'font' beside it. If a face with that name is already on sale, move on to the next idea.
- Let the classification word do honest work. Call a face Grotesk, Slab or Mono only if the design is one, because buyers filter and search by those words.
- Check how the name sets in the face itself. Quayside Sans shows off a Q and a y, Wyndmoor Serif a W and a double o. Pick a name whose letters are the ones your design draws best, since the name is the first specimen anyone sees.
- Think about the whole family. The name has to fit a font menu beside weights and widths, and Lindholm Grotesk Condensed Extra Bold Italic is already long. A short first word leaves room.
- Say it aloud and ask someone to spell it. A name that people cannot spell after hearing it once is hard to recommend and hard to find again.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a font generator that changes how my text looks?
No. It is a list of 500 names for typefaces, such as Ardenmoor Sans, Flyleaf Book and Brouhaha, for people who have designed a font and need to call it something. It does not style, convert or preview text.
What do the words after the name mean?
They are classification and use words. Sans, Serif, Slab, Grotesk and Mono say what kind of letterforms the family has, while Text, Caption, Display and Titling say what size it was drawn for and Book marks a weight meant for long reading. Condensed, Narrow, Wide and Extended describe the width, so Boxcar Slab promises a slab serif and Footnote Caption a face that holds up at small sizes.
Can I release a font under one of these names?
Only after your own search. The names were drafted without looking them up in any font library or register, and with so many fonts in circulation some will match a face that exists. Look up your shortlist in the major font marketplaces and the free libraries, and take legal advice if the release is commercial.
What is the difference between a typeface name and a font name?
Strictly, the typeface is the design and a font is one style of it in a file, so Halden Sans is the typeface and Halden Sans Bold Italic is a font. In everyday use the two words are swapped freely. A font family name is the name every style in the set shares, and the entries here are family names to which you add your own weights and styles.
