Typeface Design for Playpen Sans

Seven alternates per character, one shuffler, no nearby repetition

Playpen Sans is a casual handwriting typeface by Veronika Burian, Laura Meseguer, and José Scaglione at TypeTogether, released in 2023. Each character has seven alternate forms, and a built-in shuffler prevents any single shape from repeating in close proximity, producing organic-looking inconsistency. The family spans eight weights plus a variable font, supports over 150 Latin-based languages, and ships with emoji stickers. Intended for informal contexts—greeting cards, children's books, educational materials, comic books, and graphic novels.
