Author's note

Anagram NF, by Nick Curtis, is a free retro circus display font with big, blocky caps and a sly ornamental twist. The letters feel poster-born and mid-century, mixing heavy geometric shapes with curled flourishes that pop up on the A and R, so the font lands somewhere between carnival signage and novelty titling.

It works well for album covers, event posters, diner-style branding, title cards, packaging, and short headline treatments where a free font needs a wink of showmanship. Use it for monograms or compact wordmarks too - those chunky caps hold together fast, while the curls keep the look from turning flat or merely industrial.
