Portrait Fonts

Turn a Headshot into a Line-Art TrueType Font

WorkFonts.com - your trusted source for high-quality, professional TrueType fonts

A Portrait Font transforms your likeness into a scalable black-and-white vector line drawing embedded in a genuine TrueType Font (TTF) file. Unlike static photos or bitmaps, your portrait becomes a crisp, infinitely scalable image that prints with perfect sharpness at any size - on paper, screen, or engraving.

Each Portrait Font starts with a headshot photo, from which we create a professionally rendered black-and-white line illustration capturing your facial features, hair, and expression. The finished artwork is then converted into a TrueType glyph, ready to install. Type one letter, and your portrait appears instantly.

Multi-color font glyphs

Multi-color font glyphs are created by assigning each color to an individual character which are then aligned over each other. For the multi-color image of the man above, this is how the characters look when NOT assigned to your portrait font:

Unlike raster images (JPEGs or PNGs) that lose quality when enlarged, a TrueType Font portrait remains 100% resolution-independent. It's ideal for:

Personal or business branding
Artist or author signatures
Product packaging and design
Letterheads, digital signatures, and stationery
Corporate identity materials
Special commemorative keepsakes

Every Portrait Font is fully vector-based, Windows/Mac compatible, and editable in all major design programs - including Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, CorelDRAW, and Affinity Designer. You can size it, color it, or layer it just like any other font character.

How much does it cost?

Though we have a fixed cost for portrait fonts, the quality of the final product will in most cases depend upon the quality of the headshot portait you provide for your project.

Just $59.95 per one or two-color portrait...

or $79.95 per multi-color portrait.

Please provide:

High-resolution professional headshot if available.
Any instructions or specifications, such as make my smile bigger, show more (or less) teeth, etc.
