HOW TO INSTALL YOUR FONT

You will receive your files as a zipped folder. For instructions on how to unzip your folder, visit LauraWorthingtonType.com/faqs/.

Your font is available in two formats: TrueType Font file (.ttf) and OpenType Font file (.otf).

If you have a Mac® or newer Windows® computer, install the .otf file(s). If you have an older Windows computer, install the .ttf files. Install the font by double-clicking on the .ttf or .otf file. When the pop-up menu appears, click on Install font (Mac) or Install (Windows). Fonts may also be installed by dragging and dropping them into your system’s font folder.

After installing your font, save a copy of the downloaded font files in a folder on your computer as a resource in case you want to re-install the font or transfer it to a new computer.

Some programs have a glyphs or symbol panel where the complete font including swashes and ornaments can be accessed and inserted directly. For programs that do not have a way to directly insert the swashes, the easiest method of putting in alternate swashes or symbols is by using either Character Map (Windows) or FontBook (Mac).

Character Map (Windows)Character Map is a standard Windows utility

and can be found in the Start Menu’s accessories folder (Windows XP, Vista, 7) or in All Apps under Windows Accessories (Windows 8.1, 10). Character Map can also be found by searching for it by name.

Select your font from the drop-down menu. Character Map will show all available glyphs. To quickly find the swashes, change Group By to Unicode Subrange, and select Private Use Characters from the pop-up menu. Click on any swash and then copy and paste it into your document.

See the Character Map Video for a demonstration.

FontBook (Mac)Font Book is a standard Mac utility program and

can be found in Finder under the Go menu under Applications. Once FontBook is open, go to the View menu and select Repertoire. Click on User in the left panel and then select the font name to see all available swashes in the font. Click on any swash and then copy and paste it into your document.

See the Font Book Video for a demonstration.

F airwater’s aesthetic derives from two sources: the

simplified, forgiving letterforms of tattoo lettering — where

serifs, swashes, and counters allow for the spread of ink

or the bulge and shrink of human flesh — and the pictorial themes that

informed early-to-mid 20th-century naval tattoos. The Fairwater family

includes two highly legible sans and script faces — friendly, monoline,

and casual — in light, regular and bold weights. As with many of her

faces, Laura can’t resist adding a plethora of swashes and alternates

to the script version — 465 to be exact for a total of over 2,200 glyphs!

F airwater includes four showier serif faces for use at display

sizes , culminating in the the vaguely botanical “Sailor” and

elegantly cross-hatched “Deco” weights. Every face in Fairwater

includes stylistic alternates and multilingual characters .

F airwater also includes a powerful picture font entitled DIY Lines:

over 250 ornamental characters of ships, anchors, oars, knots,

rope, botanicals, diamonds, arrows and more . With strokes and

proportions that perfectly complement the type, DIY Lines expands the

Fairwater family into a powerful design kit that evokes 20th-century

craftsmanship, maritime themes, and colorful, salty personalities. Æ
