Mikkel is a smooth and goofy script with an easygoing attitude.

A brushy script for anything that doesn’t take itself too seriously, Mikkel is the cheeky joker in TypeMates’ font library and the best buddy of expressive typography at large sizes.

And Mikkel is a double act. Along with its expressive script style, Mikkel has a ‘sans’ with a disconnected lowercase that allows it to pull off more tricks. As Mikkel’s script forms work their magic in logos and lettering, its close friend Mikkel Sans can ensure any additional text is clear and complementary.

As Mikkel’s uppercase is pretty swashy, we designed its small caps to be a little more restrained for all caps settings — keeping Mikkel’s soul and providing typographic contrast. Smart OpenType features take Mikkel back to its lettering roots; alternate characters ensuring tricky combinations and double letters stay smooth, smart and sunny.

An exuberant and bouncy typeface that’s full of fun at large sizes, Mikkel is also serious when it comes to your workflow. With over 1000 glyphs per font, huge Latin language support, OpenType features to give text the flow of lively lettering plus many typographic goodies like small caps, oldstyle and tabular numerals, Mikkel’s got it where it counts.

Da capo! Mikkel is extended with cartoonish icons to spice it up! We do not want to praise this goofy brush script too much but, c’mon, if you like eating ice cream in the sun, go with Mikkel.
