Spuntino

A casual marker font for menus, chalkboards and price tags.

1 style30 languagesOTF, TTF, WOFF2

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.

Notes on the design

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.

01

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.

02

Why is the e so open?

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.

03

Why do all the stems lean alike?

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.

04

Why are the dots not round?

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.
