Goofball

Goofball font by A.J. Palmer is a free groovy display typeface with letters that look like they were doodled in a thick, inky marker. Tall, wobbly stems and spiral centers give each word a bouncy, slightly chaotic energy, like text that’s mid-laugh. The strokes aren’t tidy or mechanical—they swell and taper in a loose, hand-drawn rhythm that keeps every line feeling lively and offbeat.

Using Goofball, headlines practically shout with playful mischief, making this free font a natural fit for kids’ book covers, birthday invitations, ice cream shop branding, retro party posters, zines, and stickers. It shines at larger sizes where the swirls and quirky curves can really breathe; pair it with a simple, clean sans serif for body text to keep your layouts readable while Goofball steals the spotlight.
