1 / 6About Portsmouth Font
Portsmouth is a strong, sturdy typeface with historical character. Its inspiration comes from the height and strength of the wooden tall ships that sailed into port in their day. With caps and small caps, this typeface is great for headlines or subheads for design projects that need a historical or retro feel, such as from the 1940s and earlier.
Five different styles that can be layered allow for different colored drop shadows, outlines and fill for even more customization.
