A grungy, textured brush font for action packed movie posters and titles.
Action Hero is a hand-drawn brush font inspired by action movie posters of the 1980s and 90s.

EXCLUSIVE: Just One License
Countless customers have contacted me over the years, totally confused by industry standards in font licensing, baffled by its terminology and legal requirements. Frankly, I don’t blame them. When you just want to buy a font, decoding the rights and wrongs of Desktop, Web, ePub and App licences feels like an unnecessary hurdle. Add to that the number of users (or seats) you might need, plus the fortune-telling required to know how successful a project might be, something that should be fun becomes a stress.
That’s why I’ve introduced Just One License. A enterprise style license that covers everything you might need, including perpetual physical, digital, broadcast and streaming use, so you can develop your projects without the worry of future compliance. It’s a great option for freelancers, studios or corporations covering a broad media landscape.
IT COVERS (ALMOST) EVERYTHING!*
– A Worldwide Perpetual License
– Full Commercial Use
– Physical & Digital Products
– Broadcast & Streaming
– Studio Use (Installation on Multiple Computers/Users)
– Multiple Projects (Belonging to the license holder)
– Desktop, Web, ePub & App usage bundled into one
A no-fuss, pay-once license that enables you to use fonts whenever and wherever suits you. Easy Peazy!
