Sancreek

Vernon Adams · 2011 · OFL-1.1

Sancreek is a poster face left deliberately out of true. The bowls bulge, the spurs curl back on themselves, and no two letters quite agree on where the baseline is, which is the difference between a revival and a pastiche. It is one weight and has no ambition to be anything else. Unusually for a face this decorative it covers Turkish and most European accents, so the wobble is available in more than one language.

Use Sancreek on the web

Self-hosted

You serve the file yourself. Nothing depends on this site staying up, and you get the whole character set — all Latin, Latin Extended, Türkçe. The file is sancreek.woff2, the same one the WOFF2 button above gives you.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Sancreek';
  /* Take the WOFF2 button above, put sancreek.woff2 wherever
     you serve static files from, and point this at it. */
  src: url('/fonts/sancreek.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Sancreek', sans-serif;
}

Hosted by us

One line, nothing to upload. Put this in your <head>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://thatsmyfont.com">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://thatsmyfont.com/fontfiles/sancreek.css">

Then use it in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'Sancreek', sans-serif;
}

One thing to know: the file we host is cut down to Latin characters so pages load quickly. Sancreek also covers Türkçe, and for those you need the download and the self-hosted route.

Questions

Is Sancreek free for commercial use?
Yes. Sancreek 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 Sancreek in a logo?
Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Sancreek belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Vernon Adams. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
How do I install Sancreek?
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 Sancreek support Turkish?
Yes. Sancreek 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 Sancreek support?
Sancreek covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 417 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
Where can I download Sancreek as WOFF2?
From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is sancreek.woff2, and it is about 42 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.
