Andy (typeface)
The Andy typeface is a childish style design by Steve Matteson and owned by Monotype Imaging. This typeface family has a controlled spontaneity feature that combines informality and legibility needed for long documents with handwriting form.
The TrueType versions of this typeface have been tuned to be highly legible at low sizes, a quality level that is called ESQ, a term used by the foundry.
Andy Bold is a casual script based on the handwriting of Steve's friend Andy Mead.
The Andy Bold typeface is also used for the Pokémon slogan Gotta catch 'em all! which is featured on the covers of Pokémon Red Version, Pokémon Blue Version, Pokémon Yellow Version, which also uses Andy Bold for the subtitle Special Pikachu Edition, Pokémon Gold Version, Pokémon Silver Version, , Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokémon Emerald, and other Pokémon games. It's also used in the original Pokémon anime for the same slogan. The Andy Bold typeface is also used throughout the popular videogame Terraria.
