Canter by Fontfabric: an all-caps free layered font that makes everything look good.

Written By Antonis Tsagaris

I don’t know how this happened, but Canter has been in my “Interesting Fonts” Behance folder for ages, and I never touched it until now.

Honestly, it deserves more than that: it’s not every day that you come across a layered typeface system with six different styles available for free.

Canter includes the following styles in the download:

  • Light

  • Outline

  • Bold

  • Bold 3D

  • Bold Shadow

  • Bold Strips

Canter reminds me of one particularly favorite typeface of mine, Juri Zaech’s Frontage and Frontage Condensed, and it’s not just the fact that they’re both layered that made me draw a comparison between the two. They also share a very obvious art deco influnce that becomes extremely obvious when examining the lowered crossbars/cross strokes of the letterforms.

Here’s something I made with Midjourney and Canter just now
