About Fredoka
Fredoka is a round, bold font whose Latin design is by Milena Brandão, with a Hebrew component by Ben Nathan, who leads the project (Hafontia). It is a variable font with weight and width axes; our tool uses the 700 weight.
Fredoka’s rounded terminals have no sharp corners to tear, which makes it one of the easiest fonts in our set to weed on small items such as bottle labels.

Worked example: how small can a Fredoka letter be cut?
Thin stroke = 0.237 x letter height. A 3 inch Fredoka capital therefore has strokes down to 18.05 mm. Taking 1 mm as a cautious minimum for weeding adhesive vinyl: 0.237 x H = 1 mm gives H = 4.2 mm, or 0.17 in per letter (0.21 in for heat-transfer or glitter vinyl, about 25% more). Monograms shrink letters to fit frames and stacks, hence our 1 in overall minimum for Fredoka.
Outline points: 1,064 across A to Z; S has 71, I only 19. 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 ß, so names such as René, Muñoz, Søren set correctly, but it lacks ő ș ễ (as in Erdős or Ștefan); use a different text font for those names.
Fredoka also works for the name or date text in split and wedding monograms; choose it under “Text font” in the tool.
