Designers Note
Clootie is a distinctive handwritten-style font featuring irregular strokes and organic, slightly uneven letterforms that evoke a casual, personal touch. Its playful yet legible design makes it ideal for creative projects such as invitations, branding, social media graphics, or any design seeking an authentic handcrafted feel. Perfect for adding warmth and character to your typography.
My wife was watching a baking show in which a Scottish guy attempted to cook a clootie. A what?? A clootie??? Never heard of a clootie!
Apparently it is a suet dumpling, containing dried fruits (like raisins) and boiled in a piece of cloth (clootie means ‘rag’ or ‘strip of cloth’ in Scottish).
Clootie font is a handmade bundle of happiness. It is rounded, soft and legible and will look particularly good on book covers.
And I promise you all: one day I will cook clooties to find out what they taste like!
