## About Rubik Doodle Shadow

Rubik Doodle Shadow is a display typeface in which every letter is a wobbly pen outline with a patch of diagonal hatching behind it, like a shadow scribbled in a notebook margin. The skeleton underneath is heavy and round-cornered. The official notes describe it as part of a collection of generative fonts produced by code from the open Rubik family, which is credited to Hubert and Fischer with Meir Sadan and Cyreal; the designer credits for this cut name NaN and Luke Prowse. There is one Regular style and no variable axis. The 774 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Hebrew character sets. Because each glyph carries many small hatch strokes, the TTF file is about 1.3 MB, far larger than a plain single-style font. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Posters for children's events**: The scribbled contour and hatched shadow look like marker drawing, which fits titles for school fairs, parties and craft workshops.
- **One headline style in three scripts**: Latin, Cyrillic and Hebrew letters share the same sketch treatment, so a title keeps its look across those versions of a poster.
- **Stickers and printed merchandise**: Short words set large keep the hatch lines visible on stickers, T-shirts and tote bags.
- **Thumbnails and story graphics**: A single hollow word over a flat colour gives a hand-drawn title without commissioning lettering.

## Things to know

- **One style only**: The family is a single Regular cut with no bold, italic or variable axis.
- **The detail needs size**: The hatch strokes are fine: in the specimen they merge into a grey edge on the small sample line, so the face is meant for large settings.
- **A heavy file**: The download is one TTF of about 1.3 MB and the web font is close to 290 KB, large for a single style.
- **Credits differ between sources**: The designer listing names NaN and Luke Prowse, while the name table inside the font credits Hubert and Fischer and NaN.
