Hanko font by Kato Masashi is a free decorative display typeface that feels like chunky ink stamps pressed onto soft rubber squares. Each glyph sits in a rounded black block, with off-center, slightly wobbly white shapes that give it a playful, handmade rhythm-somewhere between a street stencil and a vintage seal. The result is bold, tactile, and instantly attention-grabbing.

This free font shines on stickers, logos, gig posters, kids’ packaging, zines, and bold social graphics where you want quirky impact without looking messy. Using Hanko at large sizes lets the inky edges and irregular curves really show; pair it with a simple geometric sans for body text to keep layouts clean and readable.
