About Retro Crab
Most of what turns up under 7ntypes needs work before it is usable. Retro Crab is the version that does not. It comes from Ade (7NTypes). 114 people have saved it over there, which tells us the idea works for more than just us. Unreviewed so far — read that as untested rather than as a verdict.
If you want one use for it, take autumn fonts: that is the direction the designer clearly had in mind, and it is the one we would follow. A display face has one job: be read big. We judge it at poster size and ignore how it behaves in a paragraph, because it will never be in one. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every font on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.

How to use this font
- Download the font from Creative Fabrica and unzip it — you normally get OTF and TTF of the same face, plus a licence file.
- Install the OTF if your software gives you the choice: it carries the alternates and ligatures that make a script face look handwritten.
- Restart the app you design in — Canva, Photoshop, Cricut Design Space and Word all read the font list once, at launch.
- Read the licence before a paid job: personal and commercial use are priced apart, and a logo often needs the extended one.
