Kiddo
Not Your Type · Xiaoyuan Gao · 2022
A two-style display typeface digitised from a hand-drawn marker alphabet, with loose baselines and open counters that retain a distinctly handmade character.
About
Drawn from a found image of a marker alphabet and digitised by Xiaoyuan Gao, Kiddo comes in two styles: notRegular, which preserves the original's casual irregularity, and pixel, a rougher pixelated variant. The limited glyph set covers basic Latin, numerals and punctuation, keeping the typeface focused on short-form display use. Available free under a conditional licence requiring credit and restricting use by larger commercial entities.
Classification
A marker-drawn alphabet digitised from a found image, with wonky baselines and irregular letterforms that place it firmly in the hand-drawn display category rather than any conventional script or sans classification.
