Designers Note

Bigelow Rules is a bold, hand-drawn display font that exudes a playful and energetic personality. Designed with thick, uneven strokes and a slightly wobbly baseline, it mimics the look of hand-lettered signs or chalkboard writing, making it ideal for creative and casual design projects. Its large x-height and open letterforms ensure excellent readability, even at smaller sizes. This font features a distinctive, friendly charm that works well in children’s themes, school-related materials, posters, greeting cards, and branding for fun, informal products. Each character is crafted with a consistent rhythm, yet maintains a spontaneous, sketch-like quality that adds visual interest. Bigelow Rules supports uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and basic punctuation, offering versatility for various typographic needs. With its strong presence and whimsical flair, this font is perfect for adding a touch of lightheartedness and personality to any design. It pairs well with simple sans-serif fonts to balance its bold appearance.
