The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle in physics, associated with the Higgs field, which gives mass to other elementary particles. It was predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The Higgs boson is crucial because it confirms the existence of the Higgs mechanism, explaining why particles like electrons and quarks have mass. Its discovery was a major milestone in understanding the fundamental structure of the universe, earning François Englert and Peter Higgs the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics.

About Creative Market Fonts

We believe that fonts have the capacity to tell a story, communicate ideas , stir emotion , and express intent. When you choose a font you’re not just choosing letters on a screen, you’re choosing from thousands of voices, styles, moods, and perspectives. Our catalog covers a wide stylistic range. Need a retro pixel vibe for your throwback design? Maybe you found our site looking for a sleek variable font to adapt seamlessly across devices. Perhaps a display font for your new site header? Whatever it is, we’ve got you covered. Our library includes everything from expressive scripts to no-nonsense monospaced families. We pride ourselves on unique, thoughtful design of every kind, which is how we’ve become the go-to destination for unique font families. If you aren’t sure where to start, check out some of our handpicked curated finds or best sellers .

What are the different types of fonts?

While there are many ways to differentiate fonts, the main different categories to start with are serif, sans serif, script, blackletter, display/decorative, and non-Western. However, this is a nuanced topic - with a rich history, a range of opinions, and many different approaches. For a more detailed breakdown, check out our blog on different font styles here .

What is the difference between a font and a typeface?

The difference between a font and a typeface is that a typeface refers to the overall design, while a font is a specific style, size, or weight within that typeface. This is a bit confusing on its face - we think it’s a bit easier to reference an example. So if “Neue Swiss” is your typeface, "Neue Swiss Bold 12pt" might be your font. Of course, as you’ll find with anything in this wonderful world of fonts, nothing is so simple. For a fuller, more nuanced take (or if you just want to nerd out) you can check out a whole article about this topic here: What is a Typeface and How Is it Different from a Font?

What Font License is Right for Me?

A desktop license is the most common license and covers most commercial font usage. You can create graphic designs (logos, signs, etc.) and products (mugs, t-shirts, hats, etc.) for yourself, or your client(s). These are great for logos and branding, movie titles and captions, PDFs, cards, signs and print merchandise. Products may be sold for profit as long as the letters are not the main selling point of your product (like a house number or stamp set). Embedding fonts is not allowed with this license with a few exceptions (such as a PDF reports). All licenses on our site are perpetual, which means you pay once and use it forever. To use a font on your website, you’ll need a web font license. This type of license allows you to embed font files into the CSS code on your site. From there, site visitors can then see and temporarily use your embedded fonts! Web licenses on Creative Market are priced by pageview limits (essentially this means they are priced according to traffic). Beyond the web, we’ve also got you covered for apps and publications. Our app licenses allow you to embed font files in app code. These are best for things like games, mobile apps, and web apps. Our e-pub licenses are best for ebooks and digital magazines - where you would want to embed the fonts directly into your files. Here’s a helpful walk through on font use in e-books! Creative Market also offers Worry-Free font licensing for enterprise clients. Learn more about our enterprise business offerings here . Still have questions about our licenses? Get more information about all of our font licenses here . You can also chat with our licensing assistant, Creative Mark, who can help answer questions. You can knock on his door in the bottom right corner of your desktop screen.

About

Display font Higgs Boson Blues — Higgs Boson Blues is a handmade bold display type, in the tradition of American wood type. It comes in two font formats OpenType-SVG bitmap and standard vector font.

Every character has been hand carved onto lino and hand printed with waterbased ink. This gives the OpenType-SVG font an impressive amount of texture and detail. It gives it a weathered almost stamped like appearance.

Display font Higgs Boson Blues

I aimed to create a wood type font that is reminiscent American type from the early 1800's. Its got that western vintage style about it for sure.

It has all that lovely grunge detail that only block printing by hand brings—the standard vector font is not too shabby either.

Also, the SVG font is all set on a transparent layer, that means you can quickly change the colour in Photoshop or Illustrator. (see below)

Higgs Boson Blues usage

If this typeface were a celebrity it would be more Clint Eastwood than Chuck Norris, but Chuck can still make a campfire by rubbing together two ice cubes—ledgend.

The typeface is suitable for a wide range of creative designs but works best to create that vintage look. Everything from logos, letterheads, headlines and t-shirts to retro packaging, book covers and beer labels.

If you are after that authentic letterpress style, Higgs Boson Blues might be a match made in heaven.

OpenType Alternatives

Each uppercase and lowercase character has three alternative versions. Very handy to make your lettering look different, more random like real block printing. Just access the alternatives via your glyphs panel and switch out any repetitive letters.

If you are wondering how to select the alternatives in photoshop I've created a quick video—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n2vKHchM7Q

OpenType SVG, please read

OpenType-SVG bitmap fonts are the new kid on the block. Support for them is limited but growing.

They only work in the latest versions of Photoshop CC2017+ and Illustrator CC 2018+, plus a handful of other native OSX apps. They also work on the more modern versions of windows again only in Photoshop CC2017+ and Illustrator CC 2018+.

Windows users might not see your letters when you install the font. But it does work in the applications mentioned above.

Adobe Indesign does not fully support OpenType-SVG bitmap fonts.

Image backups

If your software is too old I've provided high-resolution images, so you can still manually compose letterforms inside photoshop or your application of choice.

Traditional vector font included

A traditional vector font is included, it's not quite the same as the SVG version (not as much detail) but it will work in any graphics application.

Included with the OpenType-SVG font

Uppercase characters (Basic Latin only)
Lowercase characters (Basic Latin only)
Numbers
Punctuation
Symbols and marks
High-resolution image backups with numerous alternatives

Included with the Vector font

Uppercase characters

Full support for Western, Central and South Eastern European languages.

About Simon Stratford

Hello, that's me or itsmesimon, aka Simon Stratford. I design everything from custom typefaces for advertising agencies to ready to buy fonts for designers (like you) to the occasional digital oil painting for TV and print.

I've spent over 20 years in the design industry, from teaching photoshop, web design, movie promotion, and branding agencies to digital marketing—I think I've done most jobs. I got tired of the rat race and the daily commute in London. So I stopped doing things I didn't what to do—and started doing things I did want to do—more creative things.

So if you want to be part of my tribe, follow me on
