About Skranji

Skranji is a display typeface built from thick strokes with irregular, slightly wobbling edges and wedge-shaped ends. In the specimen no two stems are quite parallel: the S is drawn as a jagged zigzag, the feet of A and K flare outward, and the bowls are lopsided, so a word looks carved by hand instead of set from type. The official description calls the design primitive and exotic and links it to the thunder of Norse gods. Both capitals and lowercase are present, with a tall lowercase that keeps words compact. There are two fonts, Regular 400 and Bold 700, and no italics; each has 258 glyphs in the basic Latin subset. The copyright notice belongs to Font Diner, which trades as Neapolitan, and the name table gives the designer simply as Squid.

Where Skranji works

Game and comic titles

Jagged, hand-cut letterforms suit fantasy, jungle or adventure themes where a title should look hewn, not printed.

Party and event posters

The heavy strokes hold up at poster size, and Bold adds mass when the title sits over an illustration.

Themed menus and packaging

A short product or dish name in Skranji gives a tiki-bar or campfire flavour to a label that is otherwise set in a plain face.

Logos for children's and outdoor brands

The uneven edges read as playful at large sizes, and the two weights allow a main mark and a lighter secondary line.

Things to know

Basic Latin only

Skranji carries the basic Latin subset: its 258 glyphs cover English and Western European languages such as French, German and Spanish. The Latin Extended subset is not included.

Regular is already heavy

Regular 400 and Bold 700 are both dark; the difference between them is modest, and there is no light style.

Reserved font name

The license notice reserves the name Skranji, so a modified version must be released under a different name.
