Exclusive: “Loco” similar to Cocomelon font (free + paid download)
1. Loco: logo font with highlights
Loco is a typeface perfect for playful branding, fun lines on t-shirts, and even titles on cakes. The font is part of the bubble font family. It has rounded stems with highlights for an exaggerated 3d effect. The thinner weights of this font have an inky quality; the bolder styles feel more balloony.
Bubble fonts are considered fun and family fonts. People perceive them as personal even though they usually don’t have a handwritten style to them.
Design variety with stylistic sets & alternative letter designs
Loco comes with stylistic sets and alternative letter designs that can be swapped using a design app. Some alternative letters are tilted to the left, others are tilted to the right, some letters are filled in, and others have no stem extension for an even rounder feel.
Ligatures and tilted letters give a title more of a custom design because they don’t look the same. That is especially useful when you have a pair of the same letter, for example, in the word “balloon.” If you swap the second letter l and the second letter o with an alternative letter design, your title will look more fun and professional.
Loco: font preview and free font
The Loco font comes in 9 weight styles: The Medium style, 500 in font-weight, comes for free (only in January!) for personal and commercial use. Download here.
Design background
Loco font: Cocomelon-style type
The Cocomelon font is a custom logotype designed for the Cocomelon brand. The Loco font featured here is also a bubble font and is similar in style. However, it comes in more weight options than just the Cocomelon style, which is close to Loco’s SemiBold (600).
2. Goji: rounded font for headlines
Goji comes in 9 font weights, from Thin to Extrabold. The thinner font weights have an ink feel to them, whereas the bolder weights remind people of bubble font families.
This typeface has alternative letter designs with shortened stems for some letters, for example, b, d, n, p, and q. These letters are also called stylistic sets that can be activated in professional graphic design programs. In the Cocomelon font, the lowercase letter n also has a missing stem extension.
3. Vole: rounded counters font
Rounded counters are a design feature seen not too often in typeface design. Ink fonts often use overly rounded counters to simulate the ink bleeding into the open spaces.
The Cocomelon letter m is similar in style. The inner openings are shortened because the shoulders of the letter run down more than in other typefaces.
