Today we’re happy to introduce Kermit, a friendly-looking, informal font family. On closer inspection however, it’s a combination of unique aesthetics & state-of-the-art technology that leads to a new way of writing.

Kermit was commissioned by Microsoft, who develop additional tools for their software for kids which have trouble learning to read. Kermit is a writable font – a typeface that can be written as one writes by hand: stroke by stroke, in the correct order, at the right speed, at the right time – and that might improve text comprehension for some kids. This innovative design enables new digital reading experiences, for example as support for learning to read.

All Kermit fonts – writable, variable and static – come in 7 weights, 3 different widths, with support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. In case you want to experience the writable fonts yourself, or read more about Kermit’s background, visit the dedicated mini-site kermit-font.com

Where to get Kermit?
Because Kermit was commissioned by Microsoft, it’s now available for Microsoft 365 customers for both Windows and Mac. You can find it in the font menu as a cloud font, and it will automatically install when selected. And thanks to our partnership with Microsoft, we are pleased to now offer commercial licensing for Kermit in our webshop. Kermit comes as writable, variable and static fonts, which are not just for kids, but the static fonts are now available to anyone. Get Kermit.
