The Question
"What if typography could look assembled, not drawn?"
Contraption Font
Making Experienced Maker
$29.00 - $214.16
A font that looks like it was assembled, not drawn.
Contraption uses gears, circuits, geometric forms, and structural elements to build each letter—making words that feel constructed rather than typed. It's for projects that need to look intentional, engineered, put together with purpose.
What you get: OpenType font file (.otf). Full character set. Works in standard design software. Personal and commercial use included.
Best at: Large sizes (36pt+) where the detail invites you to actually look at individual letters: posters, headlines, branding for maker spaces, educational materials, anything that benefits from typography you can get lost in.
We designed Contraption to embody how things get made: piece by piece, part by part, each element contributing to something larger than itself. It's a celebration of assembly. Use it when your project needs to feel built, not just designed.
The kind of font where someone stops to stare at a single letter because they're curious how it comes together
