Its retro inspiration gives it its ‘good vibes’ personality which the Jester brand archetype resonates with.

A modern fashion-inspired font with unique individually crafted letterforms, Harlet is both youthful and modern. Its funky shapes make it difficult to read in long sections of text, but it is a great font choice for logo design- make your brand stand out! It looks goofy and playful, two things that your Jester audience will love.
Cucciolo is a font inspired by Mexican culture and the fancy and fun traditions that are a part of it! It works best as a display typeface, perfect for catching the attention of your audience. Personally, I think this font screams party! Use it it help encourage your clients to let go and make some memories with you!
This next font is special because it was recreated as an identical digital version of a font that was once print only– how cool! It has a vintage and old-timey feel that is both captivating and interesting. It draws inspiration from the traditional jester role in history, taking a less modern but just as accurate approach to this brand archetype.
Nefilt is a bold and trendy font with a unique and modern appearance. It has a stylish and interesting personality that is created by its strategic combination of curves and straight lines. Because of the Jesters brand personality, these brands can play with trends and new ideas like some other brand archetypes can’t– use this to your advantage!
Staying on the idea of playing with trends and leaning into brand personality, Moggie is a clean and beautiful font choice. Its nontraditional letterforms and added flourishes give it a whimsical and magical feeling. Entrance your audience with what you have to say and take it to the next level with this funky typeface!
Grove is a modern sans serif that uses clean and minimal lines combined with high contrast to appear elegant and classic. The fun of this font is within its wide selection of alternate letterforms including fun swoops and star elements. A simpler option for this brand archetype, we love it just the same!
A retro-inspired display typeface, Tan Buster is groovy and funky with a strong personality. It commands attention and is not afraid to be seen! It pairs well with any simple sans serif font for any information that needs to be more readable but works great for headlines or logo design. Its swooshes and thick lines are unique and entertaining.
Basgem is a more interesting take on a traditional serif font. The addition of joint letterforms helps it feel different than a normal serif font, but it retains the same trustworthiness and familiarity that serif fonts possess. A more mature and grown-up font option for the Jester, it works best paired with over-the-top colors and patterns!
Las on our list of font recommendations for the Jester brand archetype is Calderock. A sans serif font that comes in both outline and solid versions, it is handcrafted and has a vintage feel. Its soft edges and open design make it feel friendly and approachable while its outline version is different and unique.
