Type with Mustard

Mustard works great on sandwich boards

Yellow Mustard letters
Brown Mustard letters
Spicy Brown Mustard letters

Who forgot to pack the letters?

Don't worry, nobody here is a few sandwiches short of a picnic. There aren't any letters ... at least not yet >>.

Mustard is a flavorful font consisting of numbers and related symbols. Spreadable in three varieties: Yellow, Brown, and Spicy. Enlivens nearly any menu. Great with cheesy quotes and sandwich boards.

I've joked that while I was drawing at lunch, some of my sandwich dripped onto the paper. When I wiped off the mess, I found this font in the napkin!

While that's not completely true, it sums up very well the origin of the font: a quickly drawn sign. I liked the way the numbers looked. From that, I created what I called "spicy" mustard. From there, I simplified the forms into "brown" mustard. Ultimately, I wanted something very thin, so I further reduced the consistency until I had my "yellow" ballpark style mustard.
