What You Can Type With Brotheric

Brotheric has the full alphabet in upper and lowercase. Only 5 of the ten numbers are included, so double-check dates and prices before you print anything. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. It has 6 accented letters, but not the full set for Spanish or French, so test any non-English words first.

Ligatures and Smart Letters in Brotheric

Its ligatures switch on by themselves in most design apps: certain letter pairs join into one specially drawn shape.

Where Brotheric Works Best

Brotheric is a natural fit for tattoos, metal band logos and dark fantasy titles. Blackletter is very hard to read in all caps, so type in normal upper and lowercase. Because the family has more than one style, you can mix them in a single design for headings, subheadings and highlights.
