The Carefree Serif Font is a beautiful condensed serif font that comes in 16 normal and italic styles, ranging from Hairline weight to Bold.
It’s funny, but Carefree Serif Font was one of the hardest serifs I’ve ever made (but well worth it!). I started out as an experiment with italics at sharp angles, but it grew into the whole family you see here, and I love it so much!
It’s very easy to make an image or headline text stand out with Carefree, whether you want something strong or soft.
This font works best as display text in bigger spaces, like in big headers, pretty quotes, calls to action, etc., but it can also look great for longer text, like quotes (see picture #4). The high contrast makes me think I shouldn’t use this as body text.
Mixing the normal and italic styles and weights is also fun for me, especially when making beautiful logos like the “Olive + Oak” logo (image #2).
One thing to keep in mind about Carefree Serif Font is how far apart the letters are. It was spaced on purpose to make it easy to read and keep the balance. If you want to get the trendy all-caps look that you see in many of these pictures, I suggest setting the spacing a little tighter (around -10 to -20 should do!).Hey.
