The GREAT Britain campaign is celebrating the legacy of eight iconic women who’ve helped break convention and write the history of modern Britain.
In their honour, we have turned their handwriting into eight modern digital fonts and gifted them to the public for International Women’s Day.
Use them to tell the world your story and share how you’re making history - no matter how big or small.

From Shakespeare to Vivienne Westwood and the Beatles to Bowie, Britain is a land forged by convention breakers. After all, where else could you follow in the footsteps of Agatha Christie in London’s Covent Garden, soak up the sounds of Oasis in their hometown of Manchester, or delve deep into the history of Robert the Bruce, the legendary king of Scotland, on a trip to Edinburgh?
From heather-clad mountains to sun-drenched coastlines, and iconic landmarks including Cambridge’s dreaming spires, our scenery and cities have enchanted some of the world’s finest poets, artists and writers.
And with an endless array of cosy pubs, vibrant pops ups and world-class exhibitions to enjoy, you’ll soon see why Britain’s been inspiring visitors for centuries too.
