Welcome to the world of Celtic Knots!
Just install the Celtic Knot Font on your computer and type!
Every
key on your keyboard creates a different knot piece. Because they are
really just text, you don't need an expensive graphics program to create
almost any knot that you can imagine. You can "cut and paste"
all or part of any knot to add it to your documents.
Make
decorations, borders, flyers, posters, cards and invitations; create designs
for leatherwork, jewelry, embroidery, quilting, sewing, stenciling, woodcarving,
stonecarving, etching glass or metal, and much, much more...
as
easy as A, B, C!
This
is not your ordinary font. I have taken traditional Celtic Knotwork and
broken it down into reusable pieces and converted each piece into a character
in a font. The result is that each key on your
keyboard makes a piece of a Celtic knot.
There
are over 200 different pieces
available
in this font for you to play with!
You
can assemble them into THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT DESIGNS that are FULLY RESIZABLE.
You
change the size of any of the designs by just changing the font size!
From 1/8 of an inch to as big as you can print, they print with SMOOTH
EDGES and NO "JAGGIES" - even at billboard sizes!
For
centuries the Celts have used these fascinating designs to decorate everything
from manuscripts to pottery. The masters of this art used complex geometric
diagrams to lay out these ornate mystical patterns.
In
recent times several artists and authors have tried to teach the art of
Celtic knotwork but the process still involved complex geometry and highly
developed drawing skills. Their instruction manuals have become source
material for clip art; with few people actually learning to make the knots
because the procedure was just too tedious for the average person. But
now there has been a breakthrough, a revolutionary new way to create these
wonderful patterns. Anyone who can use a word processor can now create
thousands of delightful different Celtic knotwork patterns.

Paint Shop Pro, Illustrator, Corel Draw, Photoshop, Flash, 3D Studio Max,
AutoCad and thousands more....
No
extra memory requirements - only about 70 K.
This is NOT CLIP-ART!
You can create THOUSANDS of different Celtic knotwork patterns and use
them at ANY RESOLUTION!
Includes
detailed instructions for installation and use, and more than 70 samples
of Celtic knotwork that you can use, modify and build on.
You
can just copy and paste the ready-made designs into any document in a
word processor or in a graphics program. Choose a pattern that you like
and then customize and modify it to best suit your needs. Copy parts from

We
are extremely pleased to announce the release of our latest new
style!
In addition to our original Outline style, Filled style
and Inverse style, we now have a new 3D
style font to add to your Celtic knotwork tool boxes.
I've been working on this one for over 2 years! I have put in hundreds
of hours of drawing and tweeking to perfect the realistic carved
look of this new style. Each character has intricately constructed
shading. As one of our Beta testers said: "It really makes
the knotwork come alive!" It's as easy to use as any of the
previous 3 styles, but it produces a realistic carved look WITHOUT
THE USE OF ANY SPECIAL EFFECTS OR PHOTOSHOP TRICKS! The
shading is created with a series of gradually thickening lines so
that even at HUGE sizes it looks GREAT!
It
is precisely created to work with all of the other styles or it
can be used alone giving a striking raised look even in simple word
processor documents.
The
original Outline style is still
the best for general purpose use, especially for crafts. If your
hobby is leatherwork or quilting or wood carving (or any craft where
you want to transfer the knotwork patterns to your craft media)
chances are that you will want to transfer just the outline to your
project.
If
you intend to use the Celtic Knot Font for computer graphics or
print purposes consider getting the Filled
style to complement the Outline style. They have been
specifically engineered to work together! You can use the Outline
style in one color and use the Filled style in another color.
The
Inverse style was created to
allow the creation of another historically popular type of knotwork.
This style is characterized by a black or colored background with
the knotwork bands being left the color of the paper that they are
printed on. This style was used almost exclusively by Iain Bain
in the classic handbook Celtic Knotwork. It
is also very popular for
borders on flyers and posters. The Inverse style was also designed
to work with the Filled and Outline version, so you can easily fill
the knotwork bands with a color other than the background, just
by selecting a text color.
All
four styles work together seamlessly. They have been carefully laid
out with the same character mapping so that if you create a knotwork
pattern with any of the four styles you can change the font to any
of the other styles to remake your knotwork in that style! This
is especially handy in Photoshop projects; you can create
a design in one layer, duplicate the layer and then change the font
style in one of the layers (to Filled for instance) and the two
layers will line up exactly! With the Outline version alone, if
you wanted to fill the bands of a knotwork pattern you would have
had to meticulously select each little section of the bands and
fill them. With the Filled version, you can select all of the pieces
at once and fill them all at once. This is especially handy with
Photoshop plugins like EyeCandy (great chrome, silver & bevels),
and Super Blade Pro (unbelievable textures, colors, rust, dust,
cracks, 3D shapes). The image below is an example of the Outline
and Filled versions used together in Photoshop with Super Blade
Pro:

If you already
know how to draw Celtic Knots, this font will save HOURS of your
time! Whether you are using pencil and paper or a computer program,
the font eliminates the tedious layout steps that were previously
necessary to create Celtic Knotwork designs. We have had great feedback
from many professional artists; in fact we even sold a copy to a
MONK who is using it to illuminate hand crafted leather bound manuscripts
at a monastery!
One of the
difficult aspects of the traditional methods of Knotwork design
is that you almost need to know what the knots will look like before
you even begin the layout. With this font there is no layout stage!
You can create and experiment and let the font do the work for you.
You never need to worry about which line goes over or under! That
part is done for you already. Think about how much your time is
worth, and think about how much time you will save using this font
as your layout tool. Even Knotwork experts can save hours of time
even if you only use it to create few knots.
If you are
partial to a particular form of knotwork ornamentation, those aspects
can be added to a design created with the font more easily than
creating the entire design from scratch. Whether you use doubled
lines, dots, zoomorphics, or other styles, you can hand draw or
paint those elements into the designs once you have them worked
out with the font.
