Kingthings Slipperylip, from Kingthings, is a decorative display font designed to give projects a playful, hand-drawn headline voice. Its letterforms curve and flow to suggest motion and an organic texture, making it suitable for short, attention-grabbing titles, posters, invitations, and creative branding where personality matters. The package uses a standard TrueType file, includes basic glyphs and punctuation, and presents a hand-crafted look for display use. Graphic designers and crafters gain an informal, characterful option for short-form layouts.
Created by an experienced independent typographer
Kevin King, working under the Kingthings label, produced this face as part of a large, themed catalogue of type. That background explains the font’s distinctive, whimsical identity and its frequent appearance on public font repositories, where designers commonly note its personality. The provenance matters when a project benefits from a recognisable indie designer voice rather than a generic system face.
Installation is a familiar desktop workflow
Installation follows a standard desktop routine: download the package, extract the font file, and install it into the system fonts folder or via a right-click “Install” action. Once added, the font becomes available across installed applications and document editors without additional configuration, so applying it to headings, titles, or graphic elements requires no specialised tooling.
Broad application compatibility across desktop tools
The typeface integrates with common creative apps and desktop suites used for layout and image work. Designers can use it in:
office suites and document editors
image and vector editors
open-source graphics programs
For web use, the desktop file can be converted into web-friendly formats such as WOFF or WOFF2, allowing the face to appear on sites after format conversion and appropriate licensing checks.
Practical limits for language support and commercial use
The font targets display work rather than extensive multilingual publishing; it covers standard English characters, numerals and basic punctuation, so projects requiring extended accents or specialised glyphs may need alternatives. Commercial deployment typically requires a separate license from the designer, so production teams should verify licensing terms before embedding the face in client deliverables or packaged products.
A solid decorative pick for short display work
Slipperylip suits creatives who want a distinctive headline face backed by a known independent designer, making it appropriate for posters, invitations and social graphics. The limited glyph coverage and separate commercial licensing are practical constraints for multilingual or commercial projects. Tip: test the face at actual display sizes and in your target applications before committing it to final artwork or web embedding.
