Aromatron Regular
Combine your greatest lorem with some of our finest ipsum.
Aromatron is a friendly yet striking display typeface with a balanced and consistent rhythm. Drawing inspiration from the shapes of nature, unique solutions were employed to achieve a rich, dark, creamy texture.
What is a stencil font?
A stencil is a sheet with shapes cut out, used to produce a design by placing it on a surface and applying paint.
A modern-day stencil typeface may be designed for such applications, or just inspired by them. Aromatron actually did originate as a stencil. I was making a T-shirt for a friend and then decided to develop the idea into a typeface.
Stencil all the way!
To state the obvious, thanks to their properties, stencil fonts can be also used to create stencil-like end products. I was exhilarated to find Aromatron in the wild, used to create some of the goodies at cincelaser.com !
Balance
Aromatron is a single-weight typeface that strives for an even, dark texture. To achieve uniform whitespaces and harmonious glyph widths, some strokes had to get indecently thick.
Non-recommended usage
It should come as no surprise that Aromatron works best in lowercase and mixed case... but let’s look at some all‑caps usage, just to get that out of the way.

texture, you may be
tempted to set me in

Swashes to the rescue!
Most capitals come with two contextual swash variants that can add visual interest. Tap or hover over the white card to view the alternate set.

Aromatron’s alternate glyphs explore unicase solutions to spark visual interest or provide ways of setting type tighter, denser, darker.

The rest of the capital tale
Besides the swash variants, there are extra alternates for J, Y, M, N & T.
MINTED JOY
Small is beautiful
Not that you would ever need it, but Aromatron has Petite Caps, Small Caps, and a third set of glyphs nicknamed Medium Caps. Petite cap glyphs sit well with the lowercase and can be also employed via stylistic sets for a unicase effect or compact typesetting.

Figures aplenty
Aromatron features lining and old-style proportional figures, as well as subscript, superscript and ordinal forms that cover not only numerals, but also currency, lowercase, and some math and punctuation. The ordinals feature does double duty as a lower-aligned superscript.

Shape & color
I felt like also drawing some actual beans and leaves to go with the alphabet, just to see if I didn’t stray too far from the inspiration. Those typographic ornaments and dingbats are accessible as a separate Aromatron Ornaments font as well as in the main font via glyph palette in supported design software.
