Author's note

Boomerang font by Harold Lohner is a free decorative display typeface with a lively, hand-drawn Art Nouveau swing. Tall, elastic letters stretch and curl like ink brushed in one confident motion, giving words a loose, bohemian rhythm. The strokes feel a bit wobbly in a good way-casual, human, and just polished enough to stay readable at larger sizes.

Using Boomerang, headlines feel like they were lettered on a café chalkboard or vintage poster. This free font works beautifully for gig posters, book covers, café menus, branding for quirky shops, event invitations, and social media graphics that need personality. For a simple pairing, use Boomerang for titles and a clean sans-serif for body text, letting its breezy curves carry the mood.
