About Creative Market Fonts

Fonts are at the heart of Creative Market. Here you’ll find more than %totalResults% typefaces, each created by independent artists from around the world. Why do fonts matter? 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.

About

Paloma™ is a hand-painted display font inspired by artist signatures, expressive brush lettering, handwritten notes, and the spontaneous marks found in sketchbooks, paintings, and creative studios.

Made from real painted letterforms, Paloma celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Loose brushstrokes, irregular edges, natural movement, and subtle variations in each character give the typeface an authentic, painterly quality that digital lettering often lacks.

It feels like a signature on a canvas, a handwritten note from an artist, or a few confident strokes of paint — personal, instinctive, and full of life.

A little imperfect. Entirely intentional.

Paloma brings warmth, personality, and artistic expression to contemporary design. Its distinctive hand-painted character makes it especially suited to projects that want to feel creative, considered, and unmistakably human.

Perfect For

Art galleries, exhibitions & cultural institutions
Artist identities, portfolios & creative studios
Editorial design, magazines & book covers
Independent brands & boutique packaging
Restaurant menus, cafés & hospitality
Invitations, stationery & personal correspondence
Handmade goods, craft brands & lifestyle products
Website headings, social media & creative campaigns

The Details

Paloma is designed to retain the character of its original painted lettering. Its organic edges, irregular shapes, and expressive brush marks are an intentional part of the design.

For the best results, Paloma is particularly effective at small to medium display sizes, where its painterly details remain balanced and natural. Extremely large-scale applications, such as oversized signage or banners, may exaggerate the original brush texture.

What's Included

Uppercase A–Z
Lowercase a–z
Numbers 0–9
Limited punctuation: . , ? !
OTF font file

Made for Creative Expression

Whether you're designing an exhibition identity, an independent publication, a beautiful piece of packaging, or something entirely your own, Paloma adds the expressive quality of lettering made by hand.

Loose. Painterly. Personal. Beautifully imperfect.
