A Polar Icicle Font Cut Narrow and Tall

Picture a frozen lake split into letter-shaped slabs, then stood upright. Each capital is narrow and tall, so a long word still fits on one line. Meanwhile the blue runs deep in the middle and pales to frost along the edges.

In addition, short icicles hang from every bottom edge and crossbar. They stay short on purpose, since long ones would crowd the next line. Of course, even the E and the F drip a little from their arms.

Cracks All the Way Through

When you get close to any letter, a web of white fractures appears. It looks like ice that took a hit and still held together. Light also catches every crack differently, so no two strokes repeat.

That detail survives at large sizes, so that is exactly where the Polar Icicle Font belongs. On navy or black, for example, the blue glows almost electric. Above all, give it room, because tight tracking makes the drips collide. Against a snowy photo, though, it turns pale and quiet instead.

Where the Cold Pays Off

Winter sales, ski resorts, cold drinks and anything with menthol will reach for this first. After all, nobody looks at a block of ice and thinks of summer. Still, the cold works as a joke too. BRRRR becomes a weather report, while YETI is apparently working remotely.

Because the letters are narrow, a headline of eight or ten characters still sits comfortably. Accents come included as well, so Ä, Ñ and Ř freeze along with everyone else. Naturally, a single capital also makes a chilly monogram.

The Polar Icicle Font in Two Formats

Typing works as usual, since the Polar Icicle Font arrives as a standard OTF. Every character also ships as a separate PNG on a transparent background, at high resolution.

If you prefer a clear, colourless take with longer drips, see our older hanging-ice alphabet. Then again, smooth melts and frosted blocks wait in the Ice Fonts collection.
