The Cutouts | Hand Cut-Out Font

US$17.00

Bring the rhythm of jazz into your designs with The Cutouts — a hand-cut, all-caps display font that grooves like a Coltrane solo. Crafted entirely by hand with scissors, this font is steeped in the spirit of Matisse’s cut-outs, vintage jazz posters, and the tactile energy of DIY printmaking. Every letter carries raw edges, visual swing, and analogue warmth.

Each uppercase letter was hand-cut for an authentic, imperfect feel. For layering and contrast, the lowercase set offers a thinner, lighter version of the uppercase letters — not traditional lowercase, but a second “cut” of the same forms, giving your compositions a sense of improvisation and movement, like notes bending over a Blue Train riff.

Perfect for:

  • Jazz-inspired posters, flyers, and album art

  • Editorial layouts and art books

  • Creative branding with soul

  • Zines, printed matter, and DIY graphics

  • Collage, experimentation, and digital compositions

What’s included:

  • Uppercase A–Z hand-cut letters (with some alternates)

  • Thinner, lighter version of uppercase mapped to lowercase

  • .otf font file

  • Basic punctuation

Note: This is a decorative display font and may not include all punctuation or symbols.
