The Jolly Donut Sans typeface features a wide, oblong, and curvy design. Resembling the friendly and bubbly feeling of a Sunday morning breakfast with friends and family.
The perfect typeface designed for menus, signage, and packaging. Jolly Donut Sans was hand-lettered in collaboration with designers Lea Hidaka, Rose Hsiao, and Kalina Luong.
The Jolly Donut symbols correspond to classic American diner staples— coffee, pancakes, eggs, toast, burgers, fries, pies, sundaes, and donuts. With wide rounded features and the occasional smile, these symbols are the perfect pairing for the Jolly Donut Sans typeface that celebrates the classic diner with a modern take.
