How it works
Free printable farmhouse letters for a sign: one word, large, on a sideways sheet. The page opens on Gather in Oswald, tall and narrow. Five more wait under More options: one thin and round, two typewriter faces, two thin scripts.

Three kinds of farmhouse lettering
Oswald is tall and narrow and Poiret One thin and round, both plain. Special Elite and Cutive Mono are typewriter faces, the first worn at the edges, the second clean. Sacramento and Allura are thin scripts. Type a script word with one capital and small letters: a row of script capitals is hard to read.
From the sheet to a sign
A long phrase, such as Home Sweet Home, is split over two lines on the same sheet; a short one stays on one line.
Questions and answers
How big do the farmhouse letters print?
As large as the word allows. The sheet is turned sideways and the word fills its width, so Gather prints larger than Farmhouse. For one letter a page, open More options and set What goes on a page to One letter per page.
What fonts are these farmhouse letters?
Six open-license typefaces: Oswald, Poiret One, Special Elite, Cutive Mono, Sacramento and Allura. Each is listed under the tool with its designer, so the same face can be found by name for another project.
Can I print my own word or a family name?
Yes. Type up to 40 characters in the box and the sheet redraws. Capitals stay capitals and small letters stay small, so type the word the way the sign should read.
