About Luckiest Guy
Luckiest Guy, by Astigmatic, is a friendly heavyweight sans inspired by hand lettering in 1950s advertisements. It is licensed under Apache 2.0.
Its slight tilt and uneven baseline give a cartoon feel, which reads well from a distance on backpacks and sports bottles.

Worked example: how small can a Luckiest Guy letter be cut?
Thin stroke = 0.144 x letter height. A 3 inch Luckiest Guy capital therefore has strokes down to 10.97 mm. Taking 1 mm as a cautious minimum for weeding adhesive vinyl: 0.144 x H = 1 mm gives H = 6.9 mm, or 0.27 in per letter (0.34 in for heat-transfer or glitter vinyl, about 25% more). Monograms shrink letters to fit frames and stacks, hence our 1.25 in overall minimum for Luckiest Guy.
Outline points: 676 across A to Z; B has 68, I only 4. A light outline, quick to cut and easy on small machines.
For names in the split and wedding styles, the file includes é ñ ø Ł ő ß, so names such as René, Muñoz, Søren set correctly, but it lacks ș ễ (as in Ștefan or Nguyễn); use a different text font for those names.
For the name in a split monogram or the date under a wedding monogram, pair Luckiest Guy with Bebas Neue; the tool’s “Text font” control sets it.
