Dark brown cafe dingbats with cups, pastries and hand-drawn food contours
Coffee Time
Coffee Time is a dingbat collection drawn in a single warm-brown line: cups, mugs and pots, croissants and layered cakes, beans, a grinder, a paper to-go cup and a latte with a heart in the foam.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Coffee Time.
The card is a plain brown title bar and then a grid of about thirty drawings, each one a piece of café life: a bowl with beans, a burlap sack marked Coffee, a French press, three kinds of cup, a slice of layer cake, a croissant, a swirl of soft-serve in a striped cup, a cake with a piped top. The line weight is even throughout with no fills except the coffee itself, which is what lets the set sit alongside a script or a serif without a clash, and each drawing sits inside its own square with air around it. Because the glyphs are meant to be typed, they are spaced as a font would be, and the whole set is monochrome, so it prints on a menu or a kraft bag in one ink with no colour separation.

Menu for a small coffee bar
The drawings are already the illustrations a menu needs, and one brown ink on a pale sheet is cheaper than a printed photograph and stays crisp at a small size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 menu: set the drink list at 9.5 pt with a cup glyph at 12 pt beside each section head, keep 6 mm of clear ground between the glyph and the price column, and hold 14 mm of margin at both sides.
Pre-production check
Thin line work fades on a laser printer; print one sheet on the intended stock and check a croissant before the full set.
Sticker for a takeaway cup
One glyph on a lid sticker identifies the drink without words, and the line drawing prints legibly on a small round label where a photo would turn to mud.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 40 mm round sticker: set a single cup glyph at 22 mm wide, keep 4 mm of clear ground around the drawing inside the circle, and hold the glyph centred so the lid seam does not cut it.
Pre-production check
Small stickers lose the finer hatching in the beans; print one at the real size and inspect it on the cup before ordering the roll.
Spots for a café review
The set gives a food page small ornaments that match the tone of a review, and the single weight keeps a column from looking decorated rather than written.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 297 mm page: set body text at 10 pt with spot glyphs at 16 pt at the head of each section, keep 8 mm of clear ground between a glyph and the first line, and hold 18 mm of margin at the outer edge.
Pre-production check
Glyphs used as bullets can crowd a narrow measure; print one page and check the spacing before the issue goes to press.

Heavy script lettering paired with a light rounded uppercase sans
Coffee Font + Extras
Coffee Font + Extras pairs a heavy connected script with a light rounded uppercase sans, so a name can be carried loudly in script and supported quietly in caps beneath.
Ideas for this font
Rounded blackletter display
Ragnar Gothic
Ragnar Gothic is a rounded blackletter in cream over a monochrome medieval cityscape: mixed case with broad round bowls, a split capital G, curled spurs and softened corners, set in two lines between a small line above and a tracked caption beneath, with dated notes at the shoulders.
Ideas for this font
Broad broken letters with clipped bowls and wedge-like terminals
Bavarian Brezen
Bavarian Brezen is a handwritten fraktur: the strokes wobble slightly as a pen would, the capitals carry curled spurs, and the face covers a large character set for European languages.
Ideas for this font
Western slabs with rounded bowls and pointed waist spurs
Gashroad
Gashroad presents a red uppercase title on crumpled cream paper, where rounded bowls and short curved terminals sit beside pointed waist spurs cutting into the stems, the G curls inward and arched captions run above and below.
