How this list is built
- Google Fonts tags the family Tuscan or Woodtype with a score of 50 or more out of 100.
- Order: Strongest Tuscan or wood type score first, then by name. This is not a popularity ranking; Koldflux has no usage data for these families.
- Tag scores come from the Google Fonts tag data at the revision of this library; letter coverage and x-height are read from the font files. Nothing is added or removed by hand.
In this collection
- 22 families; 1 have more than one style and 1 are variable (one file covers a range of weights).
- 0 have a weight of 800 or heavier; 0 include italics.
- Licenses: Apache License 2.0 and SIL Open Font License 1.1.
Using these fonts
- Western lettering is meant for capitals and big sizes; set one or two words, and the details in a plain slab or sans.
- Tuscan faces have split, spurred stems; wood type faces are the heavy condensed poster letters. One of each is the classic poster look.
- Leave extra spacing between capital letters when the face is very condensed, so the word does not clump on a thumbnail.
Open any family to see every glyph it draws, try its weights and download the files with the license.
Frequently asked questions
What is a western font called?
Most western lettering comes from two 19th century styles: Tuscan, with spurs and split stems, and wood type, the large condensed letters cut in wood for posters. This page lists the library families Google Fonts tags with either style.
Can I use these fonts commercially?
Yes. Every family here is under the SIL Open Font License or the Apache License 2.0, which allow use in videos, thumbnails, logos, print and products, paid or free. What they do not allow is selling the font files on their own. The license file downloads with each family.
