What does the loop on the f do?
It gives the font its voice. The f turns back at the top into a loop wide enough to stay open in small text, while the other letters stay plain.
A casual marker font for menus, chalkboards and price tags.
Spuntino is a casual display font. Its name is Italian for a snack, and its letters follow the quick marker lettering of café and street-food menu boards, so a word reads friendly and fast. It has the feel of the day's specials written up just before the doors open: relaxed, a little hurried, never stiff. Set it on menus, chalkboards, price tags, packaging and market posters.













Spuntino follows the quick marker lettering of café menu boards: letters written fast, leaning a little, with flat, cut ends from a chisel-tip marker. We kept that speed in the shapes and left out the bounce: every letter sits on one baseline, so a whole menu reads at a glance. Any wobble or chalk dust belongs in the picture, not in the font.
It gives the font its voice. The f turns back at the top into a loop wide enough to stay open in small text, while the other letters stay plain.
The openings of c, e and s are wider than the inside of the o, so the letters stay readable on a board seen from across the room. Narrow those openings and, at a distance, a word blurs into a row of o's.
Every stem leans the same 4 degrees, so the whole menu moves in one direction. It is a slant, not a rotation: crossbars stay level and every foot stays on the baseline, which keeps a column of prices tidy.
Every dot is one four-cornered dab, the mark a flat marker leaves when it is pressed once. The same dab dots the i and j and ends the full stop, colon, exclamation and question marks, so the punctuation looks written with the same pen.
Spuntino has the accented letters for 30 languages written in the Latin alphabet, so the same menu font works in English, French, German, Polish, Turkish or Indonesian. Choose a language to see a line set in Spuntino.
