Don Semiformal

Don Semiformal font by Harold Lohner is a free handwritten display typeface with a cheeky, sign-painter attitude. Chunky strokes, inky edges, and slightly uneven rhythms give it the feel of a brush-painted storefront, casual but not sloppy. It winks at mid‑century lettering styles, bringing a warm, human touch that still holds together in bold, attention-grabbing titles.

This free font shines on retro diner menus, cafe boards, event posters, playful branding, packaging, and greeting cards. Using Don Semiformal at larger sizes lets the brushy texture really show; pair it with a clean geometric sans for body copy to keep layouts readable and balanced.
