About Spicy Rice

Spicy Rice is a display typeface drawn in a single, very heavy weight. Stems widen towards the top and bottom, counters shrink to small teardrops and slits, and strokes in S, c, r and y roll into curls that end in a round ball. The capital R and K kick out a curved leg, and the dots on i and j are large circles. The official notes describe the face as casual and festive, at home in winter holiday material as well as summer party graphics. The family consists of one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 373 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended. Spicy Rice is credited to Astigmatic, and the copyright notice names Brian J. Bonislawsky. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Extra-heavy letters with flared stems keep a short name visible from a distance.

Snack and sauce packaging

A product name fills the label with dark, swirling shapes in a single word or two.

Things to know

One very heavy style

Spicy Rice has a single Regular style, and that style is extra heavy. There is no lighter companion.

Counters close up when small

The openings inside a, e and o are narrow, so the face is meant for large sizes.

Romanian letters are incomplete

Latin Extended is included, but the comma-below letters of Romanian (U+0218 to U+021B) are not in the font.

Reserved name

The copyright notice reserves the font name Spicy Rice; modified versions need a different name unless permission is granted.
