Gagalin in Use

Recommended Posts

I've been recently been in a deep dive about this display typeface called Gagalin by Iordanis Passas.

 

To be fair it's not the most impressionable free font out there. However, it's based off of Ricoh's Soei Kakupoptai, well known to be very heavily used within Japan, akin to their 'Comic Sans'.

 

With that being said, I'm noticing Gagalin being used within my region (I live in Singapore). So this is my question: Do you guys see Gagalin often used within your country? Pictures of their use will be highly appreciated.

 

(I'm just curious, and also a little tickled by the fact that there's a  revival of a regionally hated font that's now becoming used globally.)

I have since found a couple more of them out and about. I think because Gagalin is a free font to use in Canva, many local users tend to opt for it in their projects.

Other than that, I couldn't quite reason out why Gagalin would be used here as frequent as it is.
