What it does
Blancoletters is Juan Luis Blanco’s foundry and design studio. It publishes Latin, Arabic and Tifinagh designs, offers custom lettering and language extensions, and provides Ingeo Tifinagh free for personal and commercial use.
A project using the Amazigh Tifinagh script has a specific reason to explore Blancoletters. The catalog includes Ingeo Tifinagh, Tubqal Tifinagh and Amaikha Tifinagh, alongside its Latin and Arabic work. Start with the required script, since coverage varies between families.
Ingeo Tifinagh is a useful entry point: it has nine fixed weights and a variable version with a continuous weight control. Its page separates Overview, Styles, Character set, In use and Buying options. Follow the free-download link for separate print, web and variable packages; the download page offers direct files without an account. The donation form is an optional way to support the project.
Other retail families have their own paid licences. Desktop and web use are separate, with the web agreement tied to a domain and monthly traffic. Ask for app coverage or custom language work when needed. The general FAQ also offers evaluation fonts by request, but these trials cannot be used in published work. That restriction should not be confused with Ingeo Tifinagh’s explicitly free production use.
