EDB Indians Font
Author's note
EDB Indians font by UnAuthorized Type and Edward Buri is a free cartoon display font with chunky, hand-drawn shapes dressed in feather, bead, and painted-stripe details. Its bouncy rhythm and bold black fills give words a campfire-story spark, making even a short title feel playful, noisy, and full of movement.
Using EDB Indians works beautifully for kids’ party invites, summer camp posters, classroom crafts, themed logos, scrapbook titles, toy packaging, and playful social posts. This free font needs a little space to show off, so set it large and pair it with a plain sans like Arial or Futura to keep the decorative lettering crisp.

Description
This version includes upper and lowercase letters and most punctuation. I also included some UA Type dingbats (just to amuse myself, and so you don't get those annoying boxes when you type something that isn't in the font).
This is about as close to a Thanksgiving font as you come. Problem is, the release date was about two weeks for Thanksgiving of 1997. Maybe it will be used for subsequent years.
Edward Buri sent me an e-mail saying he had doodled some letters, and could I make them into an alphabet? He sent me lots of pages of ideas, and I told him that this one would work out great, if he could complete it. He did, and I fonted it. The upper-case outline version is what he gave to me. I just did those filled-in lowercase versions because I wanted to. I didn't realize when I started that it would double the completion time. Yeah.
