Choose Love: A Bold Hand-Printed Display Font with Letterpress Charm
If you're a designer looking to add an edgy, handmade touch to your projects, the Choose Love display font by Simon Stratford is the perfect solution. Inspired by the raw, imperfect beauty of letterpress printing, Choose Love is packed with awesome print details and handcrafted style. Whether you’re designing posters, logos, or social media graphics, this bold font will elevate your work with its authentic, hand-printed feel.
Why Choose Love Font Stands Out
1. Hand-Printed Letterpress StyleThe Choose Love font brings a hand-crafted, vintage appeal that you can’t find with most digital fonts. Made using cardboard cutouts and ink, the details of the print marks add a level of imperfection and authenticity that brings character to any design. Each letterform is bursting with personality, making your projects look like they've been manually printed.
2. Three Font VersionsChoose Love includes three different versions:
SVG: Adds rich detail and transparency for stunning, high-quality prints.
Ligature: Includes multiple two-letter combinations that enhance the design.
Standard: For those looking for a traditional yet handcrafted typeface.
With these three variants, designers have the flexibility to create bold, dynamic text lockups that feel organic and original.
3. OpenType-SVG Bitmap TechnologyThe OpenType-SVG Bitmap format brings an incredible level of detail that traditional fonts can't achieve. This format allows Choose Love to feature multiple shades of black and grey, adding depth and texture to your designs. While it requires the latest versions of Photoshop CC2017+ and Illustrator CC2018+, the payoff is a stunning, realistic letterpress effect.
4. Extensive Glyph and Ligature OptionsEach letterform (A-Z) comes with three alternatives, ensuring that your design will never look repetitive. You can seamlessly swap out repeating letters, making it look more random and natural, just like a real letterpress print. Choose Love also features ligatures, which can be easily accessed via the glyphs panel in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, giving you even more design possibilities.
What’s Included in Choose Love?

With its handcrafted charm and raw imperfections, Choose Love is ideal for designers looking to create unique, character-filled projects. Whether you’re working on a punk rock poster, a bold brand logo, or even album art, this font adds a touch of rebellious spirit to your design. As Simon Stratford puts it, “It’s bold. It’s far from perfect. It’s full of imperfections and dirty marks—just the way I like it.”
