Author's note

Clothes Peg font by Pig Meat - Nick Potter is a free cartoon display typeface with a wobbly, hand-cut feel that looks like it’s been snipped from black paper and pinned along a line. The chunky, inky shapes ripple with uneven curves and playful bumps, giving every word a slightly mischievous sway. It has a bold, in-your-face presence that still feels friendly and homemade, like doodles that jumped straight off a sketchbook.

Using Clothes Peg, this free font shines on children’s book covers, comic titles, craft fair posters, party invitations, toy packaging, and playful branding. Its dense black shapes make it read clearly at larger sizes, so it’s a natural fit for headlines and logos rather than long text. Pair this typeface with a clean, light sans serif for body copy to keep the quirky energy of Clothes Peg center stage without overwhelming your layout.
