American Auto Font
American Auto Font
When a design brief calls for both consistent type colour across continuous text and immediate visual impact, type choices matter — American Auto answers that brief. The typeface brings a versatile sensibility to a broad range of creative disciplines, with a confident voice that adapts to diverse briefs that holds up whether the work is print-first or screen-first.
In practice, American Auto proves particularly effective for environmental graphics, brand identity systems, advertising campaigns, signage systems, editorial layouts. Designers reaching for it find that the type decisions feel resolved rather than laboured — a useful quality when client timelines are tight.
The range of applications extends to annual reports, web design, logo design, social media graphics. That breadth is deliberate: the proportions and spacing were stress-tested across a wide range of mock briefs before the typeface was finalised.
Spacing and kerning pairs have been individually reviewed for the most common letter combinations in English and major European languages. The result is even type colour across continuous text, with no awkward gaps or collisions between adjacent characters.
Graphic designers working on identity systems find American Auto a reliable choice for projects that demand both personality and restraint. The design avoids the self-conscious quirkiness that dates quickly, settling instead for considered distinctiveness that holds up over time.
The package includes both formats: OTF for professional creative applications that can surface OpenType features, and TTF for maximum cross-platform compatibility. Both versions are hinted for clean rendering at small sizes on screen and will perform equally well in large-format print output.
Add American Auto to your library at no cost. Both formats install in seconds and are immediately available in your design tools.
