What You Can Type With Devans

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Devans is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Common punctuation such as &, !, ? and @ is included as well. It also has the accented letters you need for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian.

How to Use the Alternate Letters in Devans

Its 9 alternates are stored as separate characters, so you can copy them from Character Map on Windows or Font Book on a Mac and paste them anywhere, including Cricut Design Space and Canva. Its ligatures switch on by themselves in most design apps: certain letter pairs join into one specially drawn shape.

Where Devans Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like Devans when they're making tattoos, metal band logos and dark fantasy titles. Blackletter is very hard to read in all caps, so type in normal upper and lowercase.
