What You Can Type With MotorHead

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, MotorHead 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. On top of that, it includes Greek and Cyrillic characters.

Where MotorHead Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like MotorHead when they're making tattoos, metal band logos and dark fantasy titles. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. Blackletter is very hard to read in all caps, so type in normal upper and lowercase.
