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.
Oh. It would seem Eastbourne has a Curlz quota to meet. We get rid of one use, and low and behold another appears. Here we have Appyfeet in the Arndale Centre. I give it 6 months before it shuts down.

Furniture Classics, formerly Perfect Homes in Eastbourne. It may not be a great improvement on the previous sign, but it’s one less Curlz shop sign in Eastbourne. Hurrah!

Perfect Homes Once again, where you find one inappropriate use of Curlz you’re bound to find another. Here we have Perfect Homes on Terminus Road, Eastbourne, not Stardust Lane, Pixieland, the only place I’d find this use of typeface acceptable.

Rockwells If you thought clipart was dead, then you obviously haven’t visited Eastbourne lately. And what better way to convey the swirling of coffee cups and endless supply of Belgian buns than Curlz.
