Open Source

Katahdin font is a bold rounded cartoon logotype by Tyler Finck designed for cool, friendly display applications. This typeface brings playful character to outdoor brands, children's content, and casual entertainment. Katahdin's bold rounded proportions create approachable, memorable headlines. The cool character suits adventure and lifestyle brands. Works at logo and display sizes. Pairs with clean sans-serifs for text.

Katahdin was crafted by Tyler Finck. The typeface reflects a focus on typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.
