Author's note

Hellafont by Kirk Shelton is a free outlined cartoon display font with broad, hand-drawn capitals and cheerfully uneven edges. The hollow letters look sturdy and homemade, with shifting stroke widths that keep the forms lively.

Children's entertainment and comic storytelling are its clearest territory. It suits activity-book covers, party posters, game graphics, and playful merchandise because the loose outlines resemble lettering drawn with a marker. In an illustrated scene, the letters can become a hand-painted shop sign or comic prop.

The lowercase is slightly heavier than the uppercase.
