Headline-first letterforms
Five hundred and sixty-four display faces built for a single line at large size: heavy contrast serifs, condensed sans, novelty cuts and poster lettering that would fall apart in a paragraph but holds a title beautifully.
Letterform anatomy
Three checks worth running on any specimen before you compare prices.
Display type is designed for the top of the hierarchy, so judge it at that scale. Check the width of the counters against the stroke weight, because a heavy face with closed counters loses legibility faster than its lighter sibling. Look at spacing: display fonts often ship tight sidebearings to look impactful in a preview, which needs manual tracking once you set a real word.

Production reality
A heavy display face costs material. Wide letters need a wider cut area, more transfer tape and more vinyl, and closed counters trap air bubbles on curved surfaces. On tumblers and jars, choose slightly narrower display cuts or split the artwork into separate decals.
Yes, and it is one of the better uses. Display faces carry a strong voice at small word counts, which suits a brand name or a short tagline. Keep supporting text in a separate neutral face so the logo line stays the loudest element.
Display fonts are usually spaced for artwork rather than for reading, so the preview spacing is tighter than text needs. Add tracking between letters once you set live wording, and reduce it again if the word is a single three-letter mark.
