About Bangers

Bangers is a display typeface that imitates hand-lettered comic-book titles. The letters are heavy, tightly packed and slanted forwards, with wedge-shaped strokes that look cut with a brush or marker; stems swell and taper instead of keeping one thickness, which adds to the hand-made effect. The specimen shows that the lowercase keys produce capitals too, so every word is set in capitals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same slant and weight, including a fat exclamation mark and question mark. Bangers has one style, Regular 400, and is not a variable font. The font holds 593 glyphs and covers Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Vernon Adams is credited as the designer, and the copyright notice names The Bangers Project Authors. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Bangers works

Comic covers and sound effects

The face was drawn after superhero cover lettering, so words like a title or an onomatopoeia look at home in a panel.

Posters and flyers

Heavy, close-set capitals pack a short slogan into a dense block that reads from a distance.

Video thumbnails and social posts

The built-in forward slant gives two or three words a sense of motion at small image sizes.

Party invitations and kids' events

The hand-cut look of the strokes suits playful headings on invitations and banners.

Stickers and merchandise

Thick letters with few thin parts hold up when printed small or cut as vinyl.

Things to know

Capitals only

Lowercase input gives the same capital shapes as uppercase, as the two identical alphabet rows in the specimen show.

One slanted style

Bangers has a single Regular style, and the slant is part of the design. There is no upright, bold or light version.

Vietnamese is included

The 593 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese.
