This is a collection of fonts used in Merchandise, Clothing and Ads for Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier.
The first thing you need to realize is, is that for all of the original Ed Hardy designs and tattoos he used his own handwriting and calligraphy. The designs were originally for a tattoo design book called “Tattootime”. In 2002 he was approached by a company who wanted to turn the designs into fashion,

In 2004 Christian Audigier also approached the company and bought license permission to reproduce the designs in his high-end clothing clothing line (Christian Audigier was formerly known as the owner of Von Dutch). While many of the fonts still use handwritten text, modified fonts and other forms of “non-redistributable” text you can buy elaborate fonts from LetterHeadFonts and if you own a clothing company or need some custom text design work you should visit Hydro 74 whose clients include Quicksilver, Maxim Magazine, Mattel and much more.. And no neither of these are referrals.

Ed Hardy Logo – Is it a Font?

Are there any existing Ed Hardy fonts?

As far as I know the only person to date (July 2009) that has made any attempts to recreate and release the vintage tattoo calligraphy of Ed Hardy has been myself with my font “Dead Hardy”.

Ed Hardy “By Christian Audigier” Font

As of early 2008 I noticed that the Ed Hardy designs and DonEdHardy.com began incorporating the name of the business man who licensed the designs. A little while later he came out with his own clothing line, a smart way to get his name known on an already increasingly popular clothing company. I found this font earlier this year, it’s called “Black Beard” by Fonthead Design. You can purchase it for less than $20.00 at MyFonts.com.

I also suggest some of the free medieval fonts from Dafont.

This is a beta version of a new type of font I wanted to try, Inspired by serif and tattoo lettering mixed into one creation.

The name isn’t all that original but I wanted to keep it relative to the theme. The font includes a wide variety of alphabetical letters that were inspired from Ed Hardy posters that I’ve purchased from eBay. I’ve used this font on fan images of Ed Hardy and I have to boast here for a second, I am absolutely delighted with how it turned out.
