Klaus Johansen hollow

Klaus Johansen hollow font by Listemageren is a free outlined display typeface with a loose, hand-drawn swagger that begs to be colored in. Its chunky, uneven strokes and soft, wobbling curves feel like marker lines on a poster board, giving text a playful, DIY energy that still reads clearly at a glance. The hollow interior creates instant layering possibilities-fill it with textures, gradients, or bright crayon-style colors to match your concept.

Using Klaus Johansen hollow, headlines practically turn into illustrations, which works beautifully for children’s books, birthday invitations, school projects, zines, stickers, and playful brand merch. This free font shines when set large and bold, then paired with a clean sans serif for body copy to keep everything readable while the outlined letters do the storytelling.
