The Celtic Knot Font is perfect for wedding invitations, programs, table and thank-you cards and more. Create your own embroidery designs for a very special Celtic, medieval or Renaissance style wedding gown. Make patterns for decorating your cake with matching knotwork motifs. You can even use the Font to make backgrounds, borders and embellishments for a wedding scrapbook or photo album. The Font lets you easily create unique Celtic knotwork on your computer - play with it until you get exactly the perfect design for your project - then print it! The designs are fully scalable so you can print them out at exactly the size you want.
This True Type font works on any PC or Mac, in the word-processing programs you are already using, or in any program that lets you choose a font.
This
invitation is an example of one of the ways that you can use the Celtic
Knot Font in printed materials. This wedding invitation was created for
some friends who were having a Renaissance style Wedding. The Filled and
Outline Styles of the Font were used to create the border. The 2 styles
align perfectly because of the great precision that was used in creating
both of them. The subtle design in the center was also created with the
Outline Style.
These embellishments were created with the Font and then given the appearance of silver in Photoshop.
This
wedding invitation has an interlaced border made with the Font.
This heart border created with the Font is perfect for weddings and would be lovely embroidered on a dress.
Connected hearts
The following designs were created with the Font and then effects were added in various graphics programs.
The following are examples of the various Styles of the Font used in an ordinary word-processing program like MS Word with no embellishments.

Basic knots:
I have arranged the parts so that they are easy to find and easy to remember. See how this block of 9 keys makes a square (well, OK, it 's really a parallelogram, but I'm trying to keep this simple). The corners of this square make the corners of a knot. The sides make the sides of knots and the middle makes....you guessed it, the middle of a knot. If you type each row of three keys followed by the Enter key, the Celtic Knot Font will make this pattern: As you can see, it makes a nice square Celtic knot. Let's get a little more fancy. If we type more of the letters that make the top edge, the middle section, and the bottom edge we can extend the knot like this: See how the "a" key makes the left side and the "d" key makes the right side? Watch this: Using these two keys will make a vertical break in the weave. This is the basis of all Celtic Knotwork. Make a grid and introduce breaks into the grid to create a decorative pattern. Likewise we can use the "w" key and the "x" key to make horizontal breaks. Like this: These examples were made using just 9 of the pieces available in the Celtic Knot Font. There over 200 different pieces available in the full font! By assembling these pieces you can make
thousands of different Celtic Knots.
We will soon have charted graph versions for beadwork and cross stitch! Email us if you would like to be notified when they are available. Click here to see examples of Arts and Crafts done with the Celtic Knot Font.
