Monster/child typefaces

Typeface combination samples


I think the hairy monster type is cute and fun, but it is tidy and well formed enough to work with the uni sans (the last example), or any of the hand written type. It also has its own secondary typeface which could work well with it for the flavours as a subhead. we would still need uni sans as a body text.




The hand written texts are working with this quite well, especially the first, the fourth and fifth ones. Uni sans doesn't look so bad here either. perhaps the lighter weight version is needed to give that more refined feel. or it could be my placement of the flavour.




This works with the first the third the fourth and even uni sans. The main type is missing a bit of Attitude though.





Funhouse

This could be the title typeface. its fun and a little bit like the monster inc typeface, big and bold but not scary. It does seem quite similar to mickey mouse's typeface too though. It has a license for commercial use of $10.00 presumably american.


Green Fuz


This is 100% free. This could be the title font. It is very monster, but not fun and friendly. It may be too horror inspired for young children


Love Monster

I really like this typeface for the minor font. it is clear, cute, and fun but has a little bit of monster attitude. it is also handwritten and has rounded edges so seems appropriate for children. The only issue is it doesn't have lower case. This also requires a license but the license is really confusing. It seems to be $5 for each person using the font and $50 for each application, which im guessing would be the website component and an additional $50 for the app if they developed one. This seems a convoluted process and will cost Bevlab too much. Lovely font but I think we will have to pass due to pricing 

Broken Poster





This could work as a monster typeface as we can see in the zombie example. Its not overly scary. It would be a title font, but the licensed version comes with all languages, punctuation etc. The license is a flat $25 usd.

Mrs. Monster



This is a monster typeface for sure but Its not scary. As a title font it offers many options for styles. The license is $20 usd for use in anything but a website like vistaprint where people use it to generate their own products.


Hairy Monster


This is a free font. Its cute and friendly and bold, well designed it seems. offers both upper and lower case. only drawback, no punctuation but as a title font it shouldn't need it.


Coarse Rounded


This is very basic but was listed as a hairy typeface. We need something that is easy to read but fits the monster theme and is suitable for a child.



Halogen




This is 100% free. It is legible yet handwritten and rounded so friendly and childlike. It could work quite well with the hairy monster. the issue is there is only a regular weight, no family even available for purchase. this makes hierarchy hard.


Aldi


This is 100% free. comes in two weights. has all the punctuation. Its legible but it only has upper case.



Lauren C. Brown


This requires a license for $7.49 usd. It is a tidy hand written font. It should appeal to children with its rounded edges. this is for the single weight
