Luckiest Guy
Brian Bonislawsky drew Luckiest Guy from the hand-lettered credits and advertising of 1950s American comics — fat, rounded, cheerful capitals with a slight forward lean and no straight lines anywhere. It is a single weight of caps and there is no version of this that works as body text, which is the correct outcome for what it is. Released under the Apache licence rather than the OFL, unusually for a display face.

Questions
- Is Luckiest Guy free for commercial use?
- Yes. Luckiest Guy is released under the Apache License 2.0, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Luckiest Guy in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Luckiest Guy belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Astigmatic. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Luckiest Guy?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Luckiest Guy support Turkish?
- Yes. Luckiest Guy includes the characters Turkish needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- Does Luckiest Guy support Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish?
- Yes. Luckiest Guy covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 369 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
