Playpen Sans
A font family in which technological excellence meets casual handwriting: comes in eight weights, all with emojis, a variable font version, and support for over 150 languages.
A general tension in the font world is that handwritten text should feel slightly inconsistent, while digital typefaces are intended to be uniform. So what’s the goal of a typeface that is both casual in look and digital in nature? To appear authentically spontaneous.
This typeface solves these problems with seven versions of each character and a built-in shuffler so no single shape is repeated nearby. The result is text with believable inconsistencies that feel fun and organic... all the benefits of a modern, pro typeface that looks human, naturally.
The family was made for all users and to shine within short, informal settings: greeting cards and invitations, casual signs and documents, and of course children’s books, educational materials, and graphic novels.
