UNCUT.wtf is a curated online repository of free and open-source typefaces by independent designers. Founded on principle of respect for creators, it welcomes submissions from anyone looking to contribute their fonts. It is a comprehensive resource for designers seeking contemporary webfonts and variable fonts for their future projects.
The website is an initiative by Kasper Nordkvist, a Danish digital designer and front-end developer. It is designed using a typeface of his own creation, Uncut Sans, consistently applied across all pages. The unicase logo with ink traps appears to be custom drawn.
As of early 2024, UNCUT.wtf offers 151 curated typefaces, neatly organized into Sans Serif, Serif, Monospace and Display sections. Users can explore these categories through a user-friendly interface, presented in grid or list view. The Unbot chatbot adds a fun touch, providing automated answers to inform visitors. The site also adeptly caters to mobile users with a well-thought mobile version.
UNCUT.wtf stands out with clear typography, a lightweight interface, and effective size contrasts against a gray background. This design enhances information visibility, ensuring a smooth navigation experience. The hover effects on buttons add visual interest, and download pages feature animated red hearts on credits, contributing a delightful and inviting touch.
Launched in April 2021, UNCUT.wtf underwent a redesign in November of the same year, resulting in its current appearance and enhanced functionality. The primary font in use transitioned to Uncut Sans in late 2021, replacing the previous use of Apfel Grotezk during a brief period.
Periodic updates have consistently improved the website’s functionality, introducing new content and ensuring a more enjoyable user experience. Instant downloads are available for some fonts, while others redirect users to trusted offsite sources. Importantly, the website refrains from including ads, respecting the hard work of type designers who generously share their creations with the public.
Uncut Sans is consistently used for headings and buttons (UI) throughout the website.
