We have been changing

Thrift and Thistle is becoming something new...

Since 2012, Matt Hull has been running Thrift and Thistle for fonts and Digital Creative Products, and Sprout Studio for custom branding and design for businesses.
Thrift and Thistle was set up as a site to showcase my passion in creating hand lettered fonts, and has become a business of it's own, separate to my design work for clients.
As a passion, this has led to over 50 fonts being created, and led onto custom font work for major brands, books, and used in Film and TV.
I have now decided to re-focus on my passion even further, and I am releasing a new website combining all my skills. The new website will combine all my work, and will coincide with a wide range of new fonts and digital products being released.

Digital Creative

Our focus is on creating lasting and memorable digital creative products, for other designers, creatives and companies looking to find unique and exciting fonts for their design project. Over 25 fonts, website themes and digital products released and more coming soon...

We will soon be releasing a seleciton of fonts available to buy through our site, along with focussing to offer bespoke designs for branding and packaging.

How to install fonts on your computer (Mac / PC)

Before installing your new font, you must unzip the file . Next, you can install the font in your system by following these steps:

On a PC: Double click on the OTF or TTF file, then click "Install."

On a Mac:

  • Double click on the OTF or TTF file, then click "Install Font."
  • Alternately, you can manually install fonts to bypass Fontbook: Copy (CMD + C) the file(s) either OTF or TTF format, then Paste (CMD + V) the files into this folder: HD > Library > Fonts

Important: Restart the program where you intend to use the font, and the fonts will show up in your font list when you open the program again. 


How to install fonts on iOS (iPhone / iPad)

In general, we recommend using fonts on your Desktop or Laptop computer because fonts cannot be directly installed on a mobile device without the help of a third party app. However, if your device of choice is an iPhone or iPad, one app that will allow you to install fonts on iOS is called Instafont. Please be aware that your mobile device may not fully support all features of OpenType fonts. Finally, as many of our fonts are delivered in .zip files, you may also need a third-party app to unzip files on your mobile device


How to install fonts on a Chromebook

Installing fonts on a Chromebook is possible, although it’s not quite as simple as installing fonts on a computer with Windows or MacOS. This video will walk you through the process for installing your new fonts on a Google Chromebook.


You can learn more about about using and troubleshooting fonts in this helpful article. To learn more about OpenType features, check out this article.

 

Permission for @font-face integration is available for fonts and covered in the license in detail. However not all fonts are hinted properly for web use. Please refer to the license for more information.

Downloads are not eligible for return or refund once purchased. Unfortunately, as this is a digital product, we are unable to give refunds as it is not possible to return the product. This is the same across all marketplaces.

For your ease and security payments and downloads are now managed using a third party secure payment gateway, and so we have no access to your details or the distribution of files. We currently accept Paypal, Stripe and through these you can make payments on all major credit cards. Paypal will happily process your payment without having to sign up. After payment by Paypal you will be redirected to a download page. We also send you the purchase confirmation email with your download page link.

The download of files whether free, by donation, or by payment will happen directly from your submission and may be found in your designated download folder. We also send you the purchase confirmation email to your Paypal email address with your download page link. If you have a problem receiving your file, please email matt@thriftandthistle.co.uk quoting your download details for support.

We have a dedicated CreativeMarket Shop, from which you can purchase a range of our products. Any purchases through this marketplace are separate to this web shop, and so all support or questions should be asked there.
