Sardinella

Sardinella font by Origin Type is a free cartoon display typeface with bold, inky shapes that feel hand-drawn and wonderfully bouncy. Each letter looks a bit like it’s been puffed up with air, with soft curves and squishy silhouettes that instantly read as fun and friendly. The tight rhythm of the forms keeps even wild, energetic titles feeling cohesive, so you get maximum personality without losing legibility.

Using Sardinella, you can bring a playful spark to children’s book covers, snack or candy packaging, game titles, YouTube thumbnails, event posters, and sticker-style logos. This free font shines when it’s set big and loud, where the chunky outlines and organic wobble can really show off. For longer supporting text, pair Sardinella with a clean rounded sans serif to keep everything readable while letting the headline do the talking.
