Architects Daughter
The hand an architect labels a drawing in: upright, spaced out, and printed rather than joined, with the slight over-extension on the crossbars that comes from writing on a board. It is the one handwriting face here that belongs on a technical drawing rather than on a greetings card. Latin only, with no accented characters and no Turkish, which is the limit of what it was drawn for.

}Questions
- Is Architects Daughter free for commercial use?
- Yes. Architects Daughter is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Architects Daughter in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Architects Daughter belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Kimberly Geswein. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Architects Daughter?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Architects Daughter support Turkish?
- Yes. Architects Daughter includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- What languages does Architects Daughter support?
- Architects Daughter covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 352 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
- Is there a smaller, Latin-only version of Architects Daughter?
- Yes — the "WOFF2 · Latin only" button on this page. It is 14 KB against 19 KB for the complete file, 24% smaller, with every weight the family has still in it. It covers Latin and Latin Extended, which is everything a page in English, Turkish or a western European language sets — Türkçe included, since ı, İ, ğ and ş all live in that range. Take the complete file instead if you set Cyrillic, Greek or any alphabet outside Latin.
- Where can I download Architects Daughter as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is architects-daughter.woff2, and it is about 19 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
