Inkd is a user-generated marketplace for professional print designs. The product you have downloaded was designed by one of our member designers. In some cases, a designer may have chosen to use a special font to help support the design.
Your print template will work no matter which fonts you choose to use. You can use default fonts found on your computer or you can opt to download and use the fonts specified by the designer. If you aren’t sure, you don’t have to do anything except open the document and let your computer do the work for you. Here’s how it might look in Adobe InDesign for example.
Missing fonts warning

In Adobe InDesign you may get a warning that looks like this:
If you choose “Ok” from this screen your computer will attempt to substitute fonts for you that most close to the fonts used by the designer.
Adobe InDesign and other print layout programs can also help you find fonts used in the design. For example, if you wanted to see which fonts were used in an InDesign document you would select “Type” and “Find Fonts” from the sub-menu.
You might be surprised how often missing fonts can sneak into any print design. It’s a good idea to use the “Find fonts” tool before sending any document to print!
