Author's note

Altamonte by Nick Curtis is a free retro bubble display font with a soft, cartooned 1960s feel. The letters are heavy and rounded, with big pillowy curves, pinched joins, and little circular cut-ins that make the font feel playful rather than slick.

It fits best where the lettering can be part of the mood - poster headlines, record sleeves, children's book covers, shop signs, and title cards all suit this free font. Use it for short words, initials, or monograms when you want chunky shapes and those teardrop-like openings to do most of the talking.
