Author's note

Rabbit Ears, by David Rakowski and revised by Harald Gruenberger, is a free retro display font with a sly cartoon twist. The letters feel chunky and low-slung, with soft, bulbous shapes and those tall ear-like cuts rising from the upright strokes, giving the alphabet a playful mascot quality rather than a straight vintage revival.

It fits poster headlines, kids' book covers, novelty packaging, cafe signage, and playful logo work where a free font can carry the joke on its own. Because the idea is built right into the lettering, it also works well for short title cards or monograms, especially when you want the wordmark to feel a bit mischievous and character-led.
