About the family


HenHouse AOE is a lively comic sans-serif bursting with offbeat rhythm and barnyard personality. Inspired by the lettering from the 1962 Merrie Melodies cartoon Mother Was a Rooster, the design captures the playful bounce and animated charm of classic mid-century cartoon titling. Each letter leans and shifts with a loose, hand-drawn spontaneity, giving HenHouse a spirited voice that feels right at home in humorous designs, children’s graphics, and lighthearted branding. The slightly irregular structure keeps the font energetic without sacrificing readability, making it ideal for headlines, packaging, comics, and playful editorial work. With its cheerful personality and vintage animation roots, HenHouse AOE delivers a delightful retro cartoon flavor that brings warmth, humor, and a touch of mischief to any design.

About Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
