What You Can Type With Empires

Empires covers the full alphabet in upper and lowercase, plus all ten numbers, so you can set names, dates and prices without switching fonts. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. Thanks to its accented letters, it also works for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian, not just English.

How to Use the Alternate Letters in Empires

Its 6 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 Empires Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like Empires when they're making streetwear, album covers and urban posters. Its lowercase letters are tall compared to the capitals, which keeps it readable at smaller sizes. Use it big and give it room. Graffiti letters are packed with detail, so they look best as one or two words, not full sentences.
