Magritte Surrealist Serif Font

 

Introducing Magritte, a serif display font with surrealist sensibilities. This is an ideal font for dreamy, unexpected branding, advertising, and merch.

 
 

Magritte has uppercase and lowercase alphabets, dozens of beautiful ligatures and dingbats, and even includes support for Modern Greek.

➺ 600+ glyphs:

  • the complete Latin alphabet (with all accent marks),

  • the complete Modern Greek alphabet (with all accent marks),

  • 50 ligatures and stylistic alternates,

  • 24 fun dingbats and arrows,

  • numerals including oldstyle figures and fractions,

  • extensive punctuation and symbols

➺ Foreign Language Support

Magritte supports dozens of languages which use the Latin and Greek alphabets. The most common languages it supports are: English, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Modern Greek, Italian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.

 
 
 

The OpenType ligatures are the fun part.

To get the most out of Magritte, use software that supports Open Type fonts (Adobe programs, Corel Draw, Affinity Designer, etc). This type family has tons of built-in OpenType ligatures and alternates, which are what make it so customizable and decorative. You can always access the ligatures, alternates, and dingbats through your software's glyphs panel.
