Hello Headline Font Free Download
There is no official Hello Headline font free download. Hello Headline is a commercial typeface by Veneta Rangelova, published by her Sofia-based foundry DearType, and neither the foundry nor its retailers offer a free, demo or personal-use version. You can buy a licence from DearType directly (from €55) or from MyFonts (from $63), both as of October 2026. If you only need the look, three free Google Fonts at the end of this guide come close.
Hello Headline font free download: what’s actually available
DearType’s page for Hello Headline lists one style, Regular, first released in 2015 and now at version 1.002. Its shop sells a one-user desktop licence for €55, and the foundry’s terms say all prices are in euros and that you may not “share, redistribute, or sublicense the font files”.
MyFonts has carried the font since August 18, 2015. In October 2026 its prices started at $63 for a one-user desktop licence and $63 for a webfont licence. Fontspring also sells Hello Headline; compare prices at checkout.
We also checked DaFont: a search for “Hello Headline” and for “DearType” returned no fonts in October 2026. Files that free-font sites label “Hello Headline” or “Bluey font” don’t come from DearType, and none of them can give you a licence.

Is Hello Headline the Bluey font?
Mostly, yes, which is why so many people search for “bluey font hello headline”. Bluey is the Australian animated series created by Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio, which premiered on ABC Kids in 2018. A Fonts In Use entry on the series credits Hello Headline as the show’s typeface and says:
- the unaired 2017 pilot used a logo set in plain Hello Headline;
- the final Bluey logo is a modified version of the font, not the font as it ships;
- the intro, title cards and end credits are set in Hello Headline.
The official Bluey website backs this up. When we looked at the source code of bluey.tv in October 2026, it contained a MyFonts webfont licence notice for “HelloHeadline-Regular by DearType”.
Two cautions. First, typing “Bluey” in Hello Headline won’t give you the exact logo, because the logo letters were altered. Second, we found no reliable source about which fonts appear on Bluey merchandise, so we can’t say whether toys or books use it. The font itself has no connection to the show’s trademarks: buying Hello Headline gives you a font licence, not the right to use Bluey characters or logos.
Design and character
DearType describes Hello Headline as “a bold and friendly typeface designed specifically (believe it or not) for headlines”. The foundry adds that “all of the letters are chunky and rounded”, which makes them “visible from afar”, and that the overall feel is “very casual and affable”.
On the foundry’s specimen, the strokes are very heavy and every corner is softened, so letters look like they were cut from thick paper. Capital-style H, L, D and N sit at the same height as lowercase-style e and a, which Fonts In Use tags as a biform or unicase design. The e has a small, tilted eye, and stems swell and narrow slightly instead of staying perfectly even. That wobble is what makes the face read as hand-made and childlike rather than geometric.
It works best for a few words at a large size. In small text the tight counters fill in.
What’s in the Hello Headline font family
There is just one font: Hello Headline Regular, delivered as OpenType (.otf) for desktop use. There are no lighter weights, no italic and no variable version. MyFonts and DearType don’t publish a glyph count, so open the glyph view on either store before you buy if you need a specific character.
If you want something in the same spirit with a newer drawing, DearType released Minko in 2024. The foundry calls it “a sort of a successor to HelloHeadline” that is “a bit more polished and grown-up”, still chunky and rounded. Minko is also a commercial font, listed from €49.
Language support and OpenType features
DearType’s page lists Latin and Cyrillic support, and its specimen sets Bulgarian text in the font. That means the same playful headline can run in English and in languages written in Cyrillic, such as Bulgarian, Russian or Ukrainian.
The foundry shows two OpenType features:
- Stylistic alternates (salt): different shapes for m and n.
- Stylistic Set 01 (ss01): a set of alternate letters you switch on as a group.
In plain terms, these swap in a second drawing of certain letters without changing the text you typed. Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Affinity and Figma can turn them on from their OpenType or type panels. Canva and Cricut Design Space can’t reach OpenType alternates, so in those apps you get the default letters only.
Hello Headline font pairings and best uses
The font was built for headlines, and that is where it belongs: kids’ products, party invitations, food packaging, posters, YouTube thumbnails, classroom materials and friendly brand names. It is too heavy for paragraphs, so pair it with a calm text face.
- Rounded and friendly: Nunito has rounded stroke ends that echo Hello Headline without competing with it.
- Neutral: Work Sans keeps body text plain, so the headline does all the talking.
- Spacing: give the headline a little extra line spacing. The letters are tall and dense, and stacked lines can touch.
Hello Headline licence: personal vs commercial use
There is no separate personal-use licence. Whatever the project, you need a paid licence, and the type depends on how you use the font. DearType’s licensing page splits it like this:
- Desktop: for static, non-editable designs such as logos, posters, packaging, social posts, video titles and invitations. Priced per computer.
- Web: embedding the font on one website domain.
- App: embedding the font in a mobile app.
- Digital Ads: HTML5 banner ads.
The desktop licence does not cover e-books, emails, sharing the font, collaboration, installing it on a server, or letting others use it. On MyFonts in October 2026, desktop licences ran from $63 (1 user) to $100.80 (2 users) and up, Electronic Doc licences started at $126, and App licences at $945.
DearType’s desktop licence lists logos, wordmarks and brand identity as covered uses, so a business logo is fine with the right number of users. This is general information, not legal advice. Read the licence that comes with your purchase.

How to download and install Hello Headline
- Buy a licence from DearType or MyFonts. Pick the licence type that matches your use.
- Download the font from your account. You get the .otf file.
- Windows: right-click the .otf file and choose Install (or Install for all users).
- Mac: double-click the file and click Install Font in Font Book.
- Restart open design apps. The font appears as “Hello Headline” or “HelloHeadline”.
Phone apps such as CapCut only show the font if they let you import font files. Uploading it to Canva places the file on Canva’s servers, which DearType’s desktop licence doesn’t list as covered, so ask the foundry before you do it.
Free fonts similar to Hello Headline
None of these is Hello Headline, and none supports Cyrillic. Each is free on Google Fonts for commercial use: Luckiest Guy under the Apache License 2.0, Fredoka and Baloo 2 under the SIL Open Font License.
- Luckiest Guy: the closest in spirit. It mixes capital shapes with a lowercase-style e and a at one height, just as Hello Headline does, and it is just as heavy. Its letters are tighter and more comic-book, with less wobble.
- Fredoka: a rounded sans with soft stroke ends and five weights, Light to Bold. At Bold it gives the same friendly mood, but it is cleaner and more geometric, and it has true upper and lowercase.
- Baloo 2: chunky and rounded at ExtraBold, with five weights and Devanagari and Vietnamese support. It is more regular and less hand-made than Hello Headline, which helps when you need longer lines.
Among paid fonts we cover, Stellost is a bouncy, chunky display font, Sardin is a rounded bold sans for cartoon-inflected branding, and Lucky Fish is a loud all-caps sans for playful packaging.
Hello Headline font FAQ

No. It is a commercial font from DearType, with no official free or personal-use version. Licences start at €55 from the foundry or $63 on MyFonts (October 2026).
Is Hello Headline on DaFont?
No. DaFont returned no results for Hello Headline or DearType in October 2026. Any free download elsewhere is not authorised by the foundry.
Is Hello Headline font in Canva?
We couldn’t confirm it in Canva’s built-in library. Canva Pro lets you upload fonts, but check with DearType first, because its desktop licence doesn’t list server installation. Luckiest Guy, Fredoka and Baloo 2 are free options with open licences.
Does a Hello Headline font generator or copy and paste work?
Not really. “Font generator” sites turn your text into special Unicode symbols, not Hello Headline letters, and copied text shows up in whatever font the other app uses. To get the real look, the font has to be installed, or you export your design as an image.
What font does Bluey use?
According to Fonts In Use, Bluey’s intro, title cards and credits use Hello Headline, and the logo is a modified version of it. The official Bluey website also loads Hello Headline as a licensed webfont.
Who designed Hello Headline?
Veneta Rangelova, founder of the Bulgarian foundry DearType. It was released in 2015.
