Hasler Circus packs amusement park, Old West, folk art, and tattoo shop all into one colorful font. Characteristic of reverse-contrast faces, Hasler Circus swaps the weight of its stems and serifs creating an unexpected yet charming rhythm. The font also features an added bonus: split stroke endings to crank up the flavor. Inject a dose of novelty into toy packaging, candy wrappers, cook books, vintage signs, or festival marketing. Drawn in the 1950s for Photo-Lettering, Inc. by influential British designer and typographer Charles Hasler, Circus was digitized by Erik van Blokland in 2011, with a helping hand from Ken Barber.
