Calvin is a warm and friendly typeface inspired by Bill Watterson’s classic comic Calvin and Hobbes. It’s a hodgepodge of the ideas and influences from some of my most favorite typographic references – Cheltenham, Cooper, The New Yorker masthead – combined into a set of charming forms complete with generous proportions, rounded serifs, ball terminals, and curly tails. Safe for use in your next brand typeface or children’s book.
