AUGUSTINE delivers a vintage monospaced aesthetic with modern usability. Designed as a complementary font duo, it channels historic character from Saint Augustine, Florida, and adapts that character for contemporary design workflows. The family emphasizes handcrafted touches, consistent monospacing for a mechanical, retro rhythm, and a clear personality that reads strongly in display and functional contexts alike.
Design Inspiration & Character
Heritage-Driven Design
Bruised Goods drew inspiration from one of America’s oldest cities to shape AUGUSTINE’s forms. The letterforms reference classic mechanical type and signage found in coastal towns: slightly compressed counters, purposeful stroke endings, and a tactile, timeworn finish. The duo balances authenticity with clarity so designs feel historic without sacrificing legibility.
Monospaced Mechanics
AUGUSTINE uses monospaced metrics to create steady typographic rhythm. Each glyph occupies the same horizontal space, which helps designers build grid-driven layouts, retro terminal-style compositions, and precisely aligned typographic treatments for product labels, menus, and editorial columns.
Key Features
Complete OTF Delivery
This product ships as OTF files only. Delivering OpenType formats ensures reliable rendering across design applications and preserves typographic details—ideal for high-quality print and digital production workflows.
Extensive Glyph Set
AUGUSTINE includes 360 glyphs in total, covering uppercase and lowercase characters, numerals, a wide range of punctuation, and additional symbols. The set supports varied typographic requirements for branding, signage, editorial copy, and product packaging.
Language Support
The font duo supports multiple European languages: Danish, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Swiss German. This multilingual coverage helps designers and brands deploy AUGUSTINE across international campaigns without compromising typographic integrity.

Technical & Production Notes
File Formats and Compatibility
Provided as OTF only, AUGUSTINE integrates seamlessly with industry-standard design tools (Adobe Creative Cloud, Affinity, Sketch, Figma) and supports production workflows for both print and digital. Confirm application compatibility for web embedding since webfont formats (WOFF/WOFF2) are not included in this release.
Kerning and Spacing
Because AUGUSTINE is monospaced, it relies on consistent cell widths rather than variable kerning. Designers should plan layout spacing accordingly; the predictable rhythm simplifies typesetting for tabular layouts, coding-inspired designs, and labels that require aligned columns.

Review the license included with your purchase to verify permitted commercial uses such as product packaging, apparel printing, broadcast, and logo embedding.
