About Rubik Spray Paint

Rubik Spray Paint is a display face whose outlines look sprayed rather than drawn. In the specimen the letters are very heavy with rounded corners and small counters, and every edge is fringed with fine bristles, as if paint had drifted past a stencil; at the small sample size the fringe is barely visible and the letters read as plain heavy shapes. The official description explains that the font belongs to a collection generated by code from the Rubik family, with the generating scripts published by NaN. Google Fonts credits NaN and Luke Prowse, while the name table inside the font lists Hubert and Fischer, the designers of the source family, with NaN. The single file is registered as Regular 400 and holds 774 glyphs, including Cyrillic and Hebrew character sets. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Rubik Spray Paint works

Street and music event posters

The sprayed fringe shows at poster size, where a few words can fill the sheet.

Social media title cards

Heavy rounded letters stay readable on a phone screen while the soft edge sets the tone.

Stickers and merchandise

A short slogan picks up the look of stencilled spray paint without any image editing.

Cyrillic and Hebrew headlines

Both scripts carry the same effect, so a title can be localised without changing typeface.

Things to know

The effect needs size

In the specimen the fuzzy edge disappears in the small sample line, so the font is for large settings.

Heavy, but named Regular

There is one style, registered as Regular 400, even though the letters are very bold.

Generated from Rubik

The outlines were produced by a script applied to Rubik, a family credited to Hubert and Fischer, Meir Sadan and Cyreal.
