About PicNic
If you need a visual display font, look no further than PicNic, an extremely graphic font creating interesting particle-like visual movements. PicNic is inspired by the way water droplets move on an oilcloth. A similarly styled font we have introduced past is Pilowlava. Like Pilowlava, PicNic has a similar fluid visual rhythm but is much more readable.
Font Details
- Swirl, particle-like visual effect
- Slanted, bouncy letters
- One weight
How to use PicNic for logo?
PicNic is perfect for creating funky logos for creative projects. Most of its letters are eye-catching and legible in small sizes.
How to use PicNic for marketing and branding?
PicNic is perfect for creative or artistic projects. The movement created by the letters’ droplet shapes communicates a super eye-catching funkiness. Due to its unique visual texture, it is best used sparingly as a display font in large font sizes.
