MossbloomMossbloomMossbloomMossbloomMossbloom
Mossbloom is a soft, round display face that has been left out in the garden: moss grows on every top edge, berries and tiny flowers hide in it, and every other letter or so carries a toadstool, a seedling or a bloom. Each part is its own layer, so the pot, the moss and the flowers all take their own colour.

All five layers are stacked here in the hero's Terracotta, with rounded letters, fuzzy moss and glossy mushroom caps. Try the other gardens, switch Moss only on for quieter lines, or the layers off for Solid.

Features
Made for game interfaces
A cozy garden font: round terracotta letters topped with moss, toadstools and flowers, in six layer fonts that stack in any colour, with 12 garden extras.
01
Five layers of garden
Shadow, Letter, Moss, Bloom and Cream stack into a full-colour overgrown title; Solid has the whole letter and its garden in one font.
02
Moss where the rain falls
Every top edge that faces the sky gets a cushion of moss, dotted with little red berries and cream flowerets.
03
Decorations that take turns
About every second letter sprouts a toadstool, seedling or flower, and contextual alternates keep two of them from landing side by side.
04
A quieter moss-only set
Stylistic Set 1 drops the toadstools and flowers and keeps just the moss, for menus, subtitles and long lines.
05
Garden extras
A mushroom, sprout, daisy, leaf, snail, acorn, potted plant, watering can, two seedlings and two mossy dividers, typed like letters.
06
Capitals and lowercase
385 characters per font with a true lowercase, figures and punctuation, for Western and Central European languages.
Built-in icons

Case study
How Mossbloom was designed
Why I made it
Farming and cottagecore games are full of things that grow, and their titles usually aren't. The type ends up as a nice rounded face with a leaf clipart stuck next to it.
I wanted letters that look like something from the garden itself: clay-pot terracotta with moss creeping over the top and a toadstool popping up here and there, in a form you can still type, recolour and drop into a game engine.
Planted in layers
Each Mossbloom letter is built from five parts: a dark Shadow for the outline and depth, the terracotta Letter, the Moss on top, the Bloom layer for mushroom caps, petals and berries, and Cream for stems, dots and flower centres. They share identical spacing and kerning, so stacked copies sit exactly on top of each other.
Recolour them and the garden changes with the letters: cream letters with rose blooms, plum with honey-yellow mushrooms, grey stone with red caps, or golden toast.
Overgrown, never repeated
The moss follows each letter's shape, settling only on the parts that face upward. Around half the letters also carry something taller, a toadstool, a seedling or a flower, and contextual alternates keep those from crowding together so a word looks naturally overgrown.
For longer lines there's a calmer option: Stylistic Set 1 keeps the moss, berries and flowerets but leaves out the bigger decorations.
From the potting shed
The extras grow from the same layers: a red-capped mushroom, a sprout, a daisy, a leaf, a mossy snail, an acorn, a potted plant and a watering can, plus single and double seedlings and two mossy dividers.
Most sit on their usual Unicode codes; the acorn and the watering can use Private Use codes. Since they're drawn in every layer, a stacked mushroom gets its outline, cap and spots in colour like the letters.

FAQ
Before you buy
How do the 6 layers work?
Mossbloom comes as 6 layer fonts (Shadow, Letter, Moss, Bloom, Cream, Solid) with the same spacing and kerning. Type the same text in each, stack the copies exactly on top of each other and give each its own colour. Mossbloom Solid also works on its own in one colour.
How do I get the soft, rounded look from the pictures?
Stack the five layers and the colours do most of the work. The roundness and the fuzzy moss in the marketing art come from a bevel and a fine noise texture on the Letter and Moss layers, plus a soft drop shadow under everything. Add them in your design app, or keep the layers flat for a cleaner, storybook look.
Can I turn off the mushrooms and flowers?
Yes. Stylistic Set 1 (ss01) keeps only the moss, berries and flowerets, which reads better in menus and longer lines. On the web it's font-feature-settings: "ss01".
Can I use Mossbloom in a game I sell, or for its logo?
Yes. Commercial use is included for games, apps, logos, merch, videos, streams and print, with no limit on sales, and you can embed the fonts and bitmap fonts in games and apps for unlimited copies. Products where your customers type their own text, and resale in asset packs, need an extended license: just ask.
Does Mossbloom work in Unity, Godot and GameMaker?
Yes. Use the TTF files in any engine that imports fonts, or the included game engine pack: BMFont bitmap fonts at 32, 64 and 128 px for Godot, Unity, GameMaker, LibGDX, Phaser, MonoGame and Love2D.
Can I use Mossbloom on my website?
Yes. WOFF2 web fonts are included, and web use is unlimited, with no cap on page views or traffic.
Which languages does it support?
Each font has 385 characters, covering Western and Central European languages.
Is Mossbloom part of a bundle?
Yes. Mossbloom is in The Complete Font Collection, every font I've made in one download.

Game logo design: what makes one work, and what it costs
A game logo has a harder job than a company logo. It has to work as a Steam capsule, an app icon, a 16-pixel favicon, a watermark on a stream and a print on a t-shirt, often in one colour. Here is what makes one survive that, and what it costs to get.
