ITC Clover

Samples:

Jill Bell’s taste for variety is evident when you compare ITC Clover with her other current type release, ITC Stranger: they couldn’t be farther apart in style or spirit. Where Stranger is rough, condensed and nervous, Clover is even, round and friendly, almost childlike. It looks like the loopy handwriting taught to grade-school students, though much more controlled than any child’s hand. Loops and curlicues on the caps and some of the lowercase letters give the typeface a certain twinkle.

Clover almost cries out to be animated, to dance across the screen to the sounds of a sprightly tune. And, true to its name, the font includes, as one of its special characters, a sprig of clover. Like many of her type designs, Clover began as a hand-lettering project that later evolved into a full typeface.
