Author's note

Charrington font by Graham Meade is a free rounded serif typeface that quietly solves the “too formal vs. too casual” problem. Its letters are softly inflated, with even strokes and pillowy curves that feel welcoming without slipping into cartoonish territory. The result is text that reads smoothly while keeping a distinctive, handcrafted warmth on the page or screen.

Using Charrington, you can give storybooks, friendly brand identities, packaging, menus, posters, and cozy blog headers a calm, approachable voice. The generous shapes and open counters hold up well at medium sizes, where their character really shows. This free font pairs nicely with a clean geometric sans for body copy-set Charrington for headings and accents, and let the simpler sans handle longer text.
