Henny Penny by Olga Umpeleva

Designed by Olga Umpeleva (opens in new tab) in 2012 for Google Web Fonts (opens in new tab), Henny Penny is an offbeat display font, named in honour of the fairy-tale character chicken Henny Penny.

Offered by independent type studio Brown Fox (opens in new tab), the team describes the design as "a friendly and playful decorative typeface. Its classical nature is successfully hidden behind its very informal structure: There is no common baseline, no common character size and no common slope of the letters. This makes the typeface very amusing. Henny Penny is a headline typeface for using in display typography. It may be used for children’s books, magazines and websites."
