Starch: Not only is it delicious (I'm looking at you, pasta and potatoes), but it's also slang for both something stiff and formal, and for backbone, moxie, and gumption. I figured that suited this font perfectly! The base is a crisp sans-serif, built on graph paper and refined with sharp lines and corners, but with a little hand-made flair to the curves.
I started with Starch Regular, and liked it so much, I proceeded to go hog-wild creating more versions for more flexibility. Be sure to try them all out with the font preview options below!

The OTF versions of the Starch fonts contain four OpenType stylistic alternate options (for the characters M, a, g, and &). They can be accessed via the glyphs panel (Photoshop, Illustrator), OpenType panel (InDesign), or symbols panel (Word). If your software doesn't have OpenType functionality built-in, you can copy and paste the alternates from Character Map (PC) or Font Book (Mac).
