The story behind Cute Halloween

Where the cute Halloween look comes from
Halloween pictures turned sweet long before they turned scary. The thousands of Halloween postcards produced between the turn of the 20th century and the 1920s commonly show children, and candy corn, first made by the Wunderle Candy Company of Philadelphia in 1888, gave the holiday its yellow, orange and white sweet.
Animation added friendly characters. The Friendly Ghost, released by Paramount in May 1945, began a run of 55 theatrical cartoons by 1959, and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown reached 17.3 million viewers on CBS on 27 October 1966.
Japan supplied the kawaii part. Kawaii culture began to flourish in the 1970s, with round handwriting decorated with hearts and stars and Sanrio’s Hello Kitty in 1974. Halloween arrived there as a shop event: Kiddy Land Harajuku held what is considered Japan’s first Halloween parade in October 1983. Today’s cute Halloween pictures mix all three: chubby ghosts, smiling pumpkins and black cats drawn as stickers on soft cream.

Cute Halloween in typography
Cute Halloween lettering is round and bouncy: chubby bubble letters, candy-striped or candy corn letters, and marker handwriting with soft rounded ends, set in the open centre with a few characters peeking around it. Short words like Boo or Hey Boo are set big; a heart or a star often dots an i.
On invitations and cards the details sit underneath in plain rounded print, in black or dark purple, so the date, time and place stay easy to read next to the playful title.
