Get Your Writing Started with This Kermit the Frog Inspired Font

Downloading cool fonts into your word processing program can be both a good or bad thing. If you are planning for a kid’s Spider-Man birthday party, then the PlayStation/Spidey font is perfect for invitations. If you are trying to polish your resume, you might want to choose something else.

Gizmodo is reporting that the designers and MCKL and Collins have created a new font that, while it may not be the best for landing that dream job, is definitely for dreamers. Named “Kernit,” this new font is inspired by the leader of the Muppets himself, Kermit the Frog, and the name is taken from both “Kermie” and the term “kerning” which is how designers adjust the spacing in between letters. According to the designers, it is “meant to capture the same imagination, fun and whimsy which we came to love in Henson’s vivid work.” The font can be downloaded here and comes in two styles, bold and outline. You’d think that with Kermit being its inspiration, “apprehensive” would be one of the choices.

Where do you think this could lead? A Miss Piggy font? Wouldn’t that just be the words “Hi-ya!!” across the screen no matter what you tried to type? Or if you were writing a cover letter, it would turn into a love poem for Kermit. No matter what this results in, we can at least all agree that Comic Sans should never be used for anything.

So what do you think? Will you be adding Kernit to your font collection? What would a Gonzo font look like? Show us your ideas on Facebook or in the comments below.
