Author's note

Amaretto Sour font by Matthew Austin Petty is a free decorative outlined display typeface with a doodled, tipsy charm. Each letter looks hand-sketched with a loose, inky line that wobbles just enough to feel human, like something drawn on a napkin at a late-night café. The open outlines keep it airy and light, so even bold titles feel playful instead of heavy or shouty.

Using Amaretto Sour, headlines instantly pick up a fizzy, offbeat energy that works beautifully for party invitations, kids’ packaging, quirky logos, greeting cards, stickers, and social posts. This free font shines at larger sizes, where the irregular strokes and hollow forms can really breathe. Pair it with a clean sans serif for body text to keep layouts readable while letting Amaretto Sour do the talking up top.
