Classic Font: Swithin

Swithin was designed to be our featured holiday font for 2003. It is based on samples of advertising lettering from posters produced during the 1920s. The whimsical nature of the characters and the decorative elements make it an excellent font for holiday cards. It features a full uppercase character set and offset small caps for the lowercase. It looks great on Christmas cards. Swithin is available singly or in our Holiday Fonts and Art package.

You can try the DEMO version of Swithin for free. Or you can ORDER the full version for only $24 online and download it right away.

    Wanted to download demo version of SWITHIN but it seems to be a broken link! A question: I just purchased the Bergling initials and LOVE them! Do you have font with lower case that might work well with Bergling for titles/headers/signatures? Thanks!

  2. Dave on December 24th, 2011

    The link to the demo on the right just worked for me. As for a lowercase font to go with Bergling, I’d look at some of our older fonts like Goofellow and Adresack and Apollyon.
