Stripes is a free decorative display font with lanky, uneven letters and a cheerfully improvised silhouette. Thick strokes bend and swell from one character to the next, giving the line a lively, handmade cadence. Irregular cutouts run through the solid forms like carved highlights, creating the striped detail promised by the name.
Playful subjects such as cartoons, music, and offbeat food culture suit its loose drawing style. It can turn posters and children's packaging into part lettering, part illustration, and the interior marks echo doodles or cut-paper artwork. In editorial design, it is best suited to magazine covers and feature openers with an eccentric, comic edge.
