Bouffant

Bouffant brings the late ’50s into sharp focus—not as a polished museum piece, but as the real thing, pulled straight from a weathered shop sign or the side of a well-loved diner. Its compact, looping strokes and snug curls echo hand-painted script work of the era, given extra authenticity through subtle misalignments and natural letter variation.

Every curve carries a touch of grit, born from a layered process of scanned paint flakes, vintage t-shirt textures, ink-rolled paper, and realistic film grain. The result is a script that looks lived-in, not manufactured—a perfect choice for designs that demand mid-century charm with the patina of time. Custom ligatures keep repeated letters from feeling mechanical, helping text flow with the ease of a practiced sign painter’s hand.

Bouffant shines where authenticity matters: boutique product labels, period drama title sequences, heritage brand packaging, themed hospitality signage, or experiential marketing for retro-inspired events. With support for most Latin-based scripts, it carries its distinctive warmth and character across languages, keeping your message both clear and evocative.

Bouffant doesn’t just nod to the past—it feels like it’s been there all along.
