Color Plasticine Font Was Squashed by Hand

Every letter here has fingerprints on it. The Color Plasticine Font rolls each glyph out of soft modelling clay, so the strokes come out uneven and slightly lumpy along their length. Because thumbs did the shaping, shallow dents and drag marks sit all over the surface. The edges round off where a finger pressed too hard. Meanwhile each letter takes its own colour, running through hot pink, sky blue, red, orange and grass green. Naturally nothing in the set is symmetrical.

Matte Clay in Playroom Colours

The finish is deliberately dull. Plasticine barely reflects, since the surface is waxy rather than glossy. Then the colours read flat and saturated, the way they do in the tin. Besides that, tiny specks of other colours have transferred onto some letters from handling. Above all, the thickness varies visibly between strokes. Of course that unevenness is the whole charm, because a perfect clay letter would look moulded instead of made.

Nurseries, Workshops and Anything Handmade

Children’s brands get there first. Craft workshops, nursery decor, stop-motion studios and educational publishing all suit it, because handmade colour reads friendly and safe. Birthday stationery also borrows the same warmth. Anything that should look made rather than designed suits it, obviously. Plain white or kraft grounds work best, since the colours already shout. Small sizes lose the fingerprints, though, so keep it generous.

Inside the Color Plasticine Font Download

Since one OTF carries every dent and fingerprint, nothing needs sculpting. On top of that, transparent PNG letters ship at a resolution that survives a large print. If you want the same clay in a single calm colour, the Blue Clay Font smooths its letters right down. The Kids Font, likewise, keeps the lumps but drops the palette. Color Plasticine Font is the one straight out of the tin.
