Author's note

Takeout by Spork Thug is a free chop-suey Chinese display font with the loud, takeout-box energy of old storefront signs. The letters lean on chunky brushlike wedges, clipped angles, and uneven curves that make the whole font feel playful, theatrical, and knowingly kitsch rather than traditionally calligraphic.

It fits best where that faux-restaurant mood is the point: menu headers, poster titles, food truck branding, party flyers, and retro packaging all make sense for this free font. Use it for short headlines, title cards, or big one-word labels, where the exaggerated strokes and bouncy silhouettes can do the talking fast.
