ITC Keefbats™ Regular

This font, ITC Keefbats, designed by Australian graphic designer Keith Philip, is a collection of strange and highly likeable characters. Philip, whose nickname is "Keef," claims that he' s always been a bit of a "cartoonist." He began drawing ITC Keefbats as animals and insects, but when he ran out of ideas he added the "pointy-headed" human character to provide more options. "I wanted a character that was simple and looked as weird as the other animals," he says. "My favorites are 'The cowboy ready to draw,' 'The finish line' and 'The merry cocktail drinker.' "

All the charming yet cheeky creatures in ITC Keefbats share the "family trait" of a common circular eye. The designs were sketched by hand, according to Philip, who prefers drawing with pencil and markers. The sketches were then recreated in a vector-based desktop drawing program.

ITC Keefbats can be manipulated (stretched, colored, outlined, shadowed) just like a typeface, yet the images maintain clarity even at large sizes. And, since these drawings come in font format, they take up far less memory than clip art.
