Troupe, a new handcrafted font that I've been working on is finally finished—Oh yeah. The font has been inspired by hand-drawn letterforms, old circus posters, and hand-painted signs. Surprisingly it's not a script font. If you had to classify it I suppose it's a hand-drawn slab, and it's best used as a display typeface. Use it for bold fun headings, crank up the size it looks better, bigger.
Troupe inspiration
The design started with as a sketch, I was experimenting with hand-drawn letters. I then digitalized it into Illustrator and created the whole family. I thought creating the 4 styles could take it in a new direction. I wanted a kind of quirky, cheeky feeling to the font. It's playful but restrained. It harks back to the circus, of hand-painted signs and traditional lettering. It has 6 weights and 4 styles to play with.
