Barrista is a typeface that isn’t here to impress you with perfect penmanship; it’s here to bring a little human warmth to your words. Its loose, looping strokes and slightly irregular shapes give it that lived-in, hand-drawn feel—like a note scrawled on a paper bag, or a sign lettered in the quiet moment before opening time. Every curve has a bit of personality, and the built-in ligatures keep the flow feeling natural, as if the letters just fell together on the page.
Originally dreamed up with coffee shop menus in mind, Barrista still feels right at home next to a cappuccino. But it’s just as comfortable on handmade product packaging, casual event posters, or anywhere you want your type to feel personal, unpolished, and approachable. It’s consistent in its clunkiness, charming in its imperfection, and always ready to give your message a little human touch.
If you’re after precision and refinement, keep walking. But if you want your words to look like they’ve lived a little—Barrista will happily pull up a chair.
