Ready Kid
A wobbly display typeface
Ready Kid is a versatile, funky display typeface that is inspired by freehand signpainting with a dose of childhood nostalgia. It’s perfect for children’s birthday party invitations, punk band marketing, or packaging for art supplies.
A font with these kind of letterforms needs to feel organic and as randomized as possible. This means a lot of ligatures and contextual alternatives, and in Ready Kid, you’ll find six sets of stylistic alternatives, 340+ ligatures, and 1200+ glyphs that cover 200+ languages. It even works in Icelandic, because I went there for two weeks in 2019 and learned about two letters I’d never seen before: Ð and Þ. I just think they’re cool letterforms, so I added those as well.
There are three styles of uppercase letters and three styles of lower case letters, and you can use correct capitalization with Ready Kid, SO NO NEED TO TYPE LIKE THIS TO FORCE CAPITALIZATION. That always bothered me when using display faces with only capital letters.
