The Dunes is a bold, all-caps, hand-drawn font that channels the sun-faded nostalgia of 1970s New Zealand surf towns. Originally designed as a custom wordmark for a small beachside drink spot in Whangamatā, this typeface carries the carefree spirit of salty air, spinning vinyl, and hand-painted signs weathered by the sea.
With its wobbly, imperfect lines and relaxed personality, The Dunes feels equal parts coastal dive bar and summer music poster. It’s not about precision — it’s about vibe. Use it anywhere you want to bring warmth, character, and a touch of vintage imperfection.
