Kaushan Script
Drawn with a brush held at a steep angle, which is why the strokes thicken on the downward pull and thin on the way back up, and why none of it looks as though it came from a nib. Impallari left the imperfections in on purpose: the baseline wanders, the letters lean at slightly different angles, and no two round shapes are quite the same. That is what keeps it from reading as a font at large sizes, and it is also why it should not be asked to set more than a line or two.

}Questions
- Is Kaushan Script free for commercial use?
- Yes. Kaushan Script 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 Kaushan Script in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Kaushan Script belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Impallari Type. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Kaushan Script?
- 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 Kaushan Script support Turkish?
- Yes. Kaushan Script 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 Kaushan Script support?
- Kaushan Script covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 414 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 Kaushan Script?
- Yes — the "WOFF2 · Latin only" button on this page. It is 47 KB against 57 KB for the complete file, 18% 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 Kaushan Script as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is kaushan-script.woff2, and it is about 57 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.
