One of the main advantages of Rentafont is a Font Serch with a very detailed font description base, consisting of ~12,000 unique keywords and options. More than 3000 fonts with Latin and Cyrillic are described in this way. Each font style contains a semantic core of ~450 tags in 50 categories in Russian, English, Ukrainian.

This data will be useful in training of designers and artificial intelligence. If you generate a design using algorithms or neural networks, based on parametric creative brief, you will need fonts that are relevant to different activities, technical parameters and features of the target audience.

To check if there is a necessary description, use the text search in your browser. If you don’t find what you looking for, please write in the comments.

These collections are answers to single keyword search queries. Rentafont’s unique search engine consists of 4 groups of filters and verbal descriptions that repeat and significantly supplement these filters:

1. Search by shape. Do you have good visual memory and clearly visualize how the font you need should look like? Then, you can find it by its special features. For example, boldness, serif type, stroke contrast etc.

2. Associative search. What are the feelings and associations that the fonts you need provoke? If your client wants to see “good,” “sporty,” or “feminine” font on the packaging, you can find it by gender, temperament, nationality, and other features.

3. Application in design. You are a designer, and font is your tool. Then, you know that one font works better for headlines, and the other for body text, while the third is exceptional for infographic. Look for the fonts, which suit your specific task.

4. History and origin. Are you a connoisseur of font art? Then you can easily find the required font by its author, studio, year of creation or its place in history.

5. Traditional text search. Enter the font name or any keyword in the search line and enjoy classical search option. Here you can even find your font by the brand where it was used (Nike, Panasonic, Skype), by number of styles etc.
