Doing some design for a product for children. Need some kid friendly fonts. Not child-handwriting fonts, or any kind of schoolbook font that is designed to be easy to read necessarily, but display fonts that look like they belong on kid products.

What kind of product?

And what age group?

Burbank by House Industries. Just fun enough, but really legible.

Hrant, that font is a screen printers nightmare. Paul, Burbank is kind of close. Kind of semi-sloppy lines. Playful. This kind of vibe:

Okay, yeah I know the serif is really different from the other two, lol. But if you just think of it in terms of line..

Postino.
Myriad Tilt.
Able (if it can be used for anything anymore).

Also, if you like the Dr. Seuss look, why not hand-letter it?

no time. time after time. time after time.. greats recc's though.

Able was used on the Harry Potter book covers, no?

Yeah, Able is the Harry Potter font, though I've seen it used for other things. The Yahoo! logo, for instance.

If you're not looking for a child-handwriting font, I would have felt that by age ten, normal typefaces are appropriate - Franklin Gothic, or Venus Extrabold Extended, for example.

Most of the stuff in my library: Hasbro, Sega Europe, Electronic Arts, Walt Disney Pictures and Burger King agree...

I sincerely hope that your "maniacal idiot" persona is an act. However, since this is a typographic forum and not a performance art venue, I suggest that you polish your shtick somewhere else, where your efforts will be better appreciated. From my personal experience, I can tell you that the Craigslist Philosophy Forum has some pretty stiff competition…
