About Castella
Castella is our advertising pick, and it is a pick rather than a default — we looked at the shelf twice before leaving it on. There are no reviews on it yet, so judge it by the preview and not by a score that does not exist. Only 4 people have saved it so far, so this is our pick rather than the crowd's. Hyperactype is the name on the listing.
The numerals tell you more than the letters do. A sans with weak figures will undercut every price list, date and phone number you set in it. We keep it filed mentally under beauty salon, which is the use that needs the least adjusting afterwards. One thing we always do and you should too: open the preview full size. A thumbnail hides exactly the detail that decides whether advertising is really what you are getting.
It answers to botanical branding, boutique style, business card and classy look, and that spread of wording is worth noting: a file tagged this consistently usually behaves the way the preview suggests. We keep it under Sans Serif Fonts, which is where to look if you want the rest of the sans serif fonts we have gone through. The wording people arrive with is sans serif fonts and fonts sans serif, and we would rather shelve for those requests than for how a thumbnail looks in a grid. Nearby you will see sans, which is where to go if this one is nearly right but not quite.

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.
