LIBERATE is a deliberately imperfect display font inspired by the history of quilting as protest and women’s craft as a form of liberation. It draws from stitched messages, patched fabrics, freedom quilts, protest banners, and hand-made archives — where letters were assembled slowly, collectively, and with intention.
Quilting has long been a language used when other forms of authorship were denied. During the women’s liberation movement, textile practices were reclaimed as acts of resistance rather than domestic obligation — work made by hand, shared in community, and used to say what could not always be spoken aloud. LIBERATE carries that spirit forward into type.
This all-caps display font is very imperfect by design. Letters sit slightly off-grid, edges wobble, spacing resists uniformity — honouring the truth of hand-cut fabric, patched seams, and movement-led making. The imperfections are intentional: they are part of the message.
Each letter feels constructed rather than drawn — assembled piece by piece, like a quilt. LIBERATE is not polished, neat, or neutral. It is expressive, human, and quietly defiant.
Perfect for:
• Protest posters and political graphics
• Community projects and activist design
• Editorial layouts and art publications
• Album artwork and music-led visuals
• Branding that values craft, care, and conviction
What’s included:
• Uppercase A–Z, Numbers 0–9, and very basic punctuation — simple, open letterforms without framing
• Lowercase a–z, Numbers 0–9, and very basic punctuation — characters built into block-quilt shapes
• An alternate, thinner uppercase style designed to introduce patchwork-like variation
• .otf font file only
Use the tester below to explore both uppercase and lowercase styles.
Important note:
LIBERATE is purposely imperfect. Some letters will appear slightly misaligned, uneven, or irregular in spacing. This is intentional and central to the spirit of the font — reflecting hand-made quilting, patchwork construction, and the visual language of protest.
LIBERATE is both a tool and a tribute — honouring women’s craft as a means of expression, resistance, and collective voice. Like liberation itself, it is built piece by piece.
LICENSING
Your purchase includes a Standard Desktop Font License for one user (one seat). This covers use in print (posters, packaging, branding), digital graphics (web, social media, apps), logos, and both personal and client projects.
If more than one person will be using the font, or if it needs to be installed on multiple devices, please add the Extended / Multi-User License to your order ($50 USD add-on).
This add-on includes the same usage rights, simply scaled for team use.
If you’re unsure which license you need, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to help.
