Pastrami on Rye brings a handmade touch to any project, with letterforms inspired by cut felt and paper collage. Its irregular edges, angled terminals, and friendly weight variation give it a tactile warmth you can’t get from sterile, digital-perfect fonts. Think of it as hand-lettering without the scissors and glue.
Readable at a glance yet full of personality, Pastrami on Rye is ideal for café menus, artisan food packaging, children’s book titles, classroom materials, YouTube channel graphics, craft fair signage, educational games, and anything that calls for a friendly, human voice. With smart letter shuffling, your words won’t repeat the same shapes twice—creating a natural, hand-drawn look that feels like every letter was cut and placed individually. There’s even a quirky serif on the capital “I” for a little extra character in headlines and logos.
From comic dialogue to indie brand identities, Pastrami on Rye delivers approachable charm and real visual flavor—no matter how you slice it.
