Member Rya… Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform 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. Link to comment

Member Pau… Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Burbank by House Industries. Just fun enough, but really legible. pbc Link to comment
Member Rya… Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 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.. Link to comment
Member Jos… Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 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? Link to comment
Member Rya… Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 no time. time after time. time after time.. greats recc's though. Able was used on the Harry Potter book covers, no? Link to comment
Member Jos… Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah, Able is the Harry Potter font, though I've seen it used for other things. The Yahoo! logo, for instance. Link to comment
Member qua… Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 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. Link to comment

Member old… Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ryan— 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… Link to comment
