Author's note

Biscuit Tin, created by Bits of Bobs, is a free outlined cartoon display font with lopsided, hand-drawn caps and a childlike bounce. Thick black contours wobble around open interiors, and each letter has its own uneven proportions, giving the alphabet a homemade cutout look.

Packaging is the most natural medium for this lettering, particularly biscuit boxes, sweet-shop labels, and children's snack brands that benefit from an illustrated, offbeat name. It also suits party invitations and activity-book covers. The loose outline motif can echo cookie icing, doodled borders, or simple mascot drawings, making the type part of the package artwork rather than ordinary wording.
