Designers Note
DK Colporteur is a distinctive handwritten-style font that blends vintage charm with modern flair. Inspired by old-world calligraphy and street signage, it features irregular strokes and subtle texture, giving designs an authentic, handcrafted feel. Ideal for logos, posters, branding, or any project seeking a nostalgic yet expressive touch. Its unique character set and playful rhythm make it stand out in both digital and print applications.
A Colporteur is a peddler of books, newspapers, and similar literature. When I was young, we often got visits from colporteurs - mostly they wanted to sell us a very expensive encyclopedia. I haven’t seen them for a while - the internet probably killed their trade, as there are numerous free encyclopedias out there. Colporteur font won’t try to sell you stuff - it basically sells itself. It is a jolly serif family of 6 styles plus a very useful doodle style full of arrows. Use it to sell your encyclopedia online, write a book and use if for the cover or create a ‘hunt the colporteur’ game.
