Polkagris

Polkagris is a thick brush display with a generous bounce and a sweet tooth.

The strokes carry weight from start to finish, drawn with the kind of round-ended brush that flares slightly into the paper. Letters tilt and shift in height across a word, so a line never quite sits straight — closer to handwritten signage than to a typeset header. The terminals round off cleanly, the bowls are full and unhurried, and even the punctuation reads as deliberate.

You can picture it on a candy-shop awning in late autumn, or pressed into a paper bag of striped peppermint sticks tied off with twine.

The font is built with advanced OpenType functionality and guaranteed top-notch quality, containing stylistic and contextual alternates, ligatures and more automatic and manual features; all to give you full control and customizability. It has extensive lingual support, covering all Latin-based languages, from North Europa to South Africa, from America to South-East Asia. It contains all characters and symbols you'll ever need, including all punctuation and numbers.

Designed and created by Mans Greback. The name is the Swedish word for the red-and-white peppermint candy stick made in Gränna since 1859.
