About Schoolbell
Schoolbell is a handwriting typeface modelled on a child's careful printing. Letters stand upright and unconnected, the strokes have the even width and rounded ends of a felt-tip marker, and nothing quite lines up: in the specimen the capitals vary in width, the baseline wobbles, and letters like k and y tilt at their own angles. Capitals are tall and narrow next to a small, round lowercase. Font Diner, which published the font, presents it with a school theme of cafeteria lunches, recess and the bus ride home, and jokingly attributes it to a second-grade lettering artist. The family consists of one Regular style, without bold or italic, and is not a variable font. Its 228 glyphs cover Western European Latin, including the letters for French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and the Nordic languages. The license is Apache 2.0.
