Author's note

Happy Sans by Stephen Knouse of Essqué Productions is a free cartoon display font with lanky, irregular letters and a cheerful hand-cut look. Stroke widths shift and the rounded shapes lean at different angles. The uneven silhouette keeps the lettering lively.

Young audiences are a natural match for its goofy movement, and it can give game graphics or event posters an easygoing comic quality. Its exaggerated forms can also turn a snack brand into something resembling illustrated lettering. Album artwork and playful merchandise offer equally convincing settings.

This font was derived from another font, Happy Serif. It has close spacing, tight kerning, and occasional overlaps.
