The name as seven candy-coloured stickers on dotted cream paper, with heart, star, rainbow and smiley stickers around it.
Glossy die-cut sticker letters that tilt and peel · v1.000
PeelpopPeelpopPeelpopPeelpopPeelpopPeelpop
Peelpop sets every letter as its own glossy vinyl sticker: a chunky rounded letter in candy colour, a darker rim, a white die-cut border and a soft shadow underneath. The stickers tilt as you type, and a stylistic set peels their corners back.

Features
Made for game interfaces
A sticker cartoon font: chunky letters on white die-cut borders in seven stackable layers, with a bouncy tilt, peeling corners and 15 typeable sticker extras.
01
Six layers, one sticker
Shadow, Border, Color, Rim, Shine and Peel stack into a complete glossy sticker; Solid holds the whole thing in one font for single-colour use.
02
Tilts on its own
Contextual alternates lean each sticker a little left or right as you type, so a word bounces instead of sitting in a stiff row.
03
Peel on demand
Stylistic Set 1 curls up the corner of every fourth sticker, Set 2 peels them all, and Set 3 straightens everything for calmer text.
04
Accents on the sticker
Every accent is cut out on the same white border as its letter, so é or ş reads as one sticker rather than two.
05
Sticker extras
A heart, star, smiley, rainbow, cloud, bolt, flower, cat, crown, ice cream, music note and sun, plus two sticker strips, typed like letters.
06
Capitals and lowercase
389 characters per font with a true lowercase, figures and punctuation, covering Western and Central European languages.
Built-in icons
Fourteen icons you can type
Each icon is a character in the font. Click one to copy it, then paste it into anything set in Peelpop.

Case study
How Peelpop was designed
Why I made it
Sticker sheets are one of the happiest things in a kid's world, and the look turns up everywhere in casual games: reward screens, collection books, level badges. Faking it usually means a stroke, a drop shadow and a gloss painted on by hand for every word.
I wanted the sticker to come with the letters, so a level name, a button and a big title all get the same white border and shine, in a design app or straight in the engine.
Built like a real sticker
A vinyl sticker has a few distinct parts, and Peelpop draws each as a font: a soft Shadow where it lifts off the page, the white die-cut Border, the Color of the letter, a darker Rim around it, a Shine streak and dot, and the Peel for the curled corner. All six share the same metrics and kerning, so stacked copies line up exactly.
Change the Color and Rim and the same title goes from coral to butter yellow, sky blue, mint or lilac, or colour each letter differently for a candy-jar mix.
Tilting and peeling
Stickers stuck on by hand never sit perfectly straight. By default, contextual alternates tip each letter slightly left or right in a repeating rhythm, which gives a word a little bounce without any extra work.
Three stylistic sets change the mood: one peels back the corner of every fourth sticker to show the paper beneath, one peels every sticker, and one sets them all straight for calmer menus and body text.
Extras and accents
The extras are stickers too, with the same border, rim and shine: a heart, a star, a smiley, a rainbow, a cloud, a bolt, a flower, a cat, a crown, an ice cream, a music note and a sun, plus a short and a long sticker strip.
Accented letters keep their marks on the same sticker as the letter, so a French or Turkish word never has a lonely accent floating above it.

FAQ
Before you buy
How do the 7 layers work?
Peelpop comes as 7 layer fonts (Shadow, Border, Color, Rim, Shine, Peel, 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. Peelpop Solid also works on its own in one colour.
How do I get the peeling corners?
Stack all six layers, including Peel on top, and switch on Stylistic Set 1 (ss01) to peel every fourth sticker, or Set 2 (ss02) to peel them all. On the web that's font-feature-settings: "ss01".
Why are my letters tilted?
That's the default bouncy rhythm from contextual alternates (calt). Switch on Stylistic Set 3 (ss03) when you want every sticker sitting straight.
Can I use Peelpop 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 Peelpop 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 Peelpop 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 389 characters, covering Western and Central European languages, with every accent cut out on the same sticker as its letter.
Is Peelpop part of a bundle?
Yes. Peelpop is in The Complete Font Collection, every font I've made in one download.

Mobile game UI design: thumb zones, safe areas and the screens that pay
A phone is not a small monitor. It is held in one hand, in motion, often in daylight, and part of the screen is covered by the thumb that is playing the game. This is what actually changes when you design a game interface for mobile, and which screens are worth the most of your budget.

Colour in game UI: a palette that sits on top of your game
Your interface sits on top of artwork somebody spent months on, in a scene whose colours change every second. That is a different colour problem from designing a poster, and most game palettes fail because they were built like one.
