**The Fonts** are the typographic protagonists of the Kiddie Channel series with same name who have the ability to come to life as small, magical creatures who all reside in a drop-down menu, which is close to a forest-like park. The fonts can appear everywhere they are used, with even just one of their usages being enough to bring them back to life.

In the series, the fonts have a variety of superpowers based upon their skills with magic, being formidable for their superhuman strength, faster-than-light flight, and ability to emit brightly-colored orbs from either their hands or their letters.

When it comes to their designers, fonts maintain a strict policy of secrecy, and they will never reveal who their designers are, with the fonts being too unwilling and stubborn to disclose their creators.

## Characters

*Main article: List of The Fonts characters*

## Appearance

The fonts are very small (and can even fit in a person's hand), usually having features such as flat, rectangular hands alongside matching flat, rectangular feet, large eyes (with eyelashes on females) atop their heads, smooth noses, a rounded mouth, occasional colors or clothing, and letters (that represent the exact typeface they are) which make up their flat bodies, among other physical traits.

1. Much of the fonts' hands and feet contain various hidden items and appliances, such as roller-blades, roller-skates, rocket boosters, bouncing springs, suction cups, etc.
2. They have retractable claws, along with extendable arms and legs, seen in some episodes.
3. Fonts may also have the ability to teleport wherever they want to go, conjure up their wands, create tangible objects, telekinetically levitate items and more, all by simply snapping their fingers.
4. By stomping or tapping their feet, the fonts can also pound/attack the ground, causing various effects.
5. Their small size gives them a problem with the big human world, often involving either a degree of untrained efforts, or their flying powers to make it through.

## Powers and Weaknesses

* The fonts have the ability to fly in and out of their usages when they want, a power they usually use to outwit lots of people. Since they are "masters of type", they will also often hide inside of walls, books, and papers (or a variety of other countless things) in order to camouflage themselves.
* Since the fonts seem to have a human level of intelligence, they can do most things that any human does.
* Fonts can also lift anything larger than themselves but not smaller, can fly to the edge of space but not the universe, and rarely eat or drink but require sleep.
* In colder weather, thanks to their physical adaptation to weather changes, the fonts don't usually wear a lot of extra clothes, at most wearing a hat, coat, scarf, gloves, and boots.
* Despite the show granting them their character forms, the fonts don't show up on cameras, photos, videos, or screens when they are characters, and they can't be seen or perceived by artificial intelligence. However, as indicated in other episodes, fonts can be seen through pictures and videos from technology if the footage is provided by magical means.
* Even though they are small, fonts appear to have an unlimited level of strength. They have displayed the ability to hold and lift things that are larger and/or heavier than themselves, such as planes, cars, trucks, buildings, boulders, and even humans in some cases!
* Despite said size, there seems to be no limit to the amount of food they can eat. In some episodes, the fonts were able to eat multiple foods and still not get full.
* There are also some situations where, much like electronic devices, the fonts will get shocked/electrocuted. This especially includes having to interact with water, so they are usually shown afraid of it.
* The fonts each have a unique superpower, each power corresponding to the abstract concepts that they embody. Fonts can also phase through matter, levitate, survive without oxygen, and are also immortal, but cannot get burned by fire or interact with water (which proves that, although fonts are immortal, they are not completely indestructible).
* When a font counted their letters or said their name, they would glow. When they finished counting or introducing themselves, their entire body would glow. Additionally, when taking hold of something, both their letters and the said things would also glow. The glowing power was subsequently removed in later seasons (although rarely, a few fonts are still able to glow).
* In some holiday episodes, the fonts were capable of decorating Christmas trees by simply flying around them (a power inspired by a *Sunny Bunnies* episode).
* Special wiring can make fonts immune to catching colds, with many of them being an example. Certain hazmat-like suits also grant fonts immunity to catching colds.
* Fonts rarely have any weaknesses at all, but their designers can be considered a serious weakness for them, since they take away the fonts' powers (although unintentionally). In some cases, designers not only disrupt the fonts' powers, but the fonts can finally be defeated as well. If a font loses their powers or wand, they will not be able to do much, leaving them nearly defenseless.

## Trivia

* The fonts are the only secretly alive characters who can properly interact with and speak to humans without it being a problem.
* In *The Fonts Reloaded*, the fonts are slightly modified from their previous versions, with design changes to their wands, orbs, and the sparkles in their flight trails.
