About Cathra
This is the one we reach for when the request is 80s fonts. Cathra keeps it simple, which is why it sits here rather than in the reserve pile. Credit goes to twinletter. It sits at 50 saves — too few to call it popular, which is exactly why it is worth a look before everyone else finds it. The listing shows 5.0 out of 5 on 1 review, which is better evidence than the thumbnail.
Put it to work on 90s fonts first. If it survives that, it will survive whatever you had in mind next. 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 check two things before any download like this: the preview at full size, and whether the licence covers what you plan to do with it.
Type advertising and advertising fonts into the search above and this one comes back — the same font under four different habits of phrasing. People after this usually search sans too, and the shelf is sorted so those all land in the same place. Judged against the requests we see — sans serif fonts and fonts sans serif — this is a middle-of-the-road answer, and middle of the road is usually what the job needs. 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.

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.
