The Fonts

The Fonts is an American animated television series developed by Naya Anna Carson for The Kiddie Channel. It premiered on January 3, 2017, and has been interpreted as a sequel to The Kiddie Channel's preceding series, Naya Anna. The franchise is based on the anthropomorphic concept that all fonts are magically alive and the show focuses on a diverse group of them. Together, the group embarks on typography-themed adventures.

The series is a general satire of the typography genres and, like other Kiddie-produced shows, uses comedic humor to teach the audience basic font skills and type-related topics. Each episode of The Fonts runs for half an hour. They consist of two 11-minute stories based on different famous typefaces. In February 2019, The Kiddie Channel announced a spin-off series called The Fonts Reloaded. The show was added to Kiddie Plus in March 2022.

Plot
Taking place in a world where fonts come to life, usually when humans are not around, the show focuses on a diverse group of typefaces that are actually small, living, and sentient characters. This series explores what the fonts do when they are hanging out with each other. They reside in a drop-down menu when they are not busy. In many episodes, the situations are comical, crazy and parodic.

The fonts can appear everywhere they are used, with even just one of their usages being enough to bring them back to life. They have a range of superpowers based upon their skills with magic, being formidable for their superhuman strength, faster-than-light flight, and ability to emit brightly-colored orbs from either their hands or their letters. When it comes to their designers, fonts maintain a strict policy of secrecy, and they will never reveal who their designers are, with the fonts being too unwilling and stubborn to disclose their creators.

In the first three seasons, the show was hosted by five Google Fonts named McLaren, Englebert, Delius, Fredoka One, and Trebuchet MS, with Typography of Coop Forged hosting the show since the fourth season onwards. Selected episodes also feature a wide variety of recurring fonts who often put a typographical spin on things.
