Chicken Wire Lady

Chicken Wire Lady font by Ray Larabie is a free comic display typeface with a wildly elastic silhouette and inky, puddled bottoms. Each letter looks stretched tall and then squashed at the base, giving headlines a rubbery, hand-pulled feel that grabs attention without feeling slick or corporate. The chunky strokes and tight rhythm make words read as bold, organic shapes, almost like cut-paper shadows dancing across the page.

Using Chicken Wire Lady, you get a loud, offbeat voice that shines on gig posters, zines, retro party invites, bar or café menus, album covers, and quirky brand marks. This free font thrives at larger sizes where its blobby contours can really breathe; pair it with a clean geometric sans for body copy to keep things readable while letting Chicken Wire Lady do the shouting.
