Madcap

Madcap (2024) has its roots in a style of lettering that its designer, Mark Simonson, used frequently when he was in high school in the early seventies. He was inspired by comic book and greeting card lettering from the sixties. Madcap’s lively appearance comes from its skewed geometry, which avoids anything aligning to a square axis or grid, yet does so with a rhythmic and consistent logic. It’s an all-caps design, and features an alternate lowercase-style “E” and a full set of dingbats.
