Author's note

Aralgish, created by Christine Mauerkirchner and Rainer Grunert of RWE, is a free cartoon display font with lively, irregular serif forms and sharply tapered details. The sweeping curves give the letters a strongly hand-drawn storybook quality.

Children's book covers are an especially convincing use, with the broad silhouettes also suiting game graphics, posters, and cheerful food packaging. In these settings, the curling strokes can become part of an illustrated creature, vine, or fanciful sign rather than serving as neutral lettering.
