About
Curlz was designed by Carl Crossgrove and Steve Matteson in 1995 for Agfa Monotype.

You may be familiar with the typeface, mainly because it's bundled with almost every PC that's sold, and subsequently used by sign making companies up and down the country every time a client asks for something fun and quirky. And as they don't have Remedy (the typeface used on the Cold Feet TV series) they opt for Curlz.

When should Curlz be used:
• If you are putting together an invitation for a 5 year-old girl's birthday party.
• You're writing a break-up letter and want to ease the pain with this whimsical typeface.

This blog is dedicated to all the misuse of Curlz. Enjoy.
Dream Tubes packaging design feedback: Yeah generally good, but not keen on the curly bits on the type. Designer’s solution: Yeah just lopped those curly bits off, couldn’t be bothered to finish off the ends, because well, your product is shit.
