About Poeta Color Font Family


Poeta Color is an ornamental font for making patterns and decorating text. It contains floral and nature motifs.

The symbols are versatile enough for simple decoration or thematic seasonal and holiday moods. Designers can use Poeta to make unique lines, fields, borders, or ornamentation within or around text. Try replacing a basic straight line with repeated symbols. Make a background to add visual interest to a design. Use the forms to decorate a chapter title or to mark the end of a magazine article. Replace a letter in a word with a symbol to create a memorable statement.

This font began with sketches of patterns seen in ceramic tiles around Sicily. It is named Poeta because Sicily is an island rich in poetry traditions.

Below is some helpful technical information.

Using this font is simple. Install it and type. Symbols will appear instead of letters. Choose the precise symbols through a software’s glyph palette. Use the type/character menu controls to vary the spacing and density of patterns. All fonts are vector-based, OpenType, and fully scalable.

Six of the fonts have different color or grey combinations. One of the fonts (solid) is a standard font. The font previews on this website will only display the font in black. See the slides to get an idea of the colors. Be assured that the colors are present in the files and will appear when loaded on the computer.


The colors that are in each font:

  • Primary: red, yellow, blue

  • Secondary: orange, green, purple

  • Tertiary: red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet

  • Diverse: many different warm and cool colors

  • Grey: three different greys from light to dark

  • Gradient: a greyscale gradient
