About the family


Mirthfawn is a bubbly display serif that turns any headline into a smile. Inspired by bubble lettering and folk‑tale calligraphy, it blends plump serifs, gentle curls and lively swashes to radiate pure optimism. Use it wherever you need instant feel‑good energy—children’s books, snack packaging, party invitations, festival posters, greeting cards, social‑media graphics or any‑themed branding.

Why it stands out

  • Personality in every curve – some double letters like >oo<, >pp< and >tt< auto‑switch to contextual alternates, so text looks hand‑lettered instead of copy‑pasted.

  • Smart OpenType engine – Ligatures and Contextual alternates keep layouts tidy.

  • Two perfectly matched styles – Regular brings airy elegance; Bold adds chunky impact.

  • Extended Latin coverage – 300+ glyphs, so global projects stay on‑brand.

  • Bonus arrows & icons – Handy arrows and Heart are built in, ready for infographics or way‑finding accents.

Design uses Why

  • Storybook titles and chapter openers

  • Craft‑beer labels, bakery boxes, chocolate bars

  • Baby shower or birthday stationery

  • Music‑festival and farmers‑market posters

  • Instagram quote cards and YouTube thumbnails

  • Logos for toy shops, cafés, florists and eco‑brands

Perfect pairings

For body copy, team Mirthfawn with a neutral humanist sans such as Lato, Nunito or Inter. Need a subtler accent? Try a clean text serif like Merriweather or Georgia; their calm rhythm highlights Mirthfawn’s playful character without competing for attention.

Behind the design

Designer set out to capture the carefree spirit of childhood doodles while maintaining professional spacing and reliable metrics. Each glyph was first sketched with a felt‑tip pen, then refined digitally to keep the organic bounce yet avoid uneven color on the page. The result is a typeface that feels handmade, scales smoothly from small screens to billboards, and—thanks to its OpenType tricks—stays visually fresh even in longer headlines.

Let your words dance with Mirthfawn and watch ordinary text transform into cheerful storytelling.
