Baloo Font is a free-floating sans-serif font. It was created by Frank Hemmekam and is a purely monospaced typeface. As with the other monospaced fonts, this has a very distinctive appearance which is not suitable for most modern web designs. However, it may be used in some programming languages or software development.

The usage of this typeface was also recommended by some computer magazines in the 1980s and 1990s when monospaced fonts were popular for programming, but it is rarely used today. Baloo font was never a serious competitor to the major monospaced fonts of its time, such as Courier and Monaco.

It was designed by Frank Hemmekam and released in 1991. It has a characteristic square shape for each character and no additional spacing between the characters, so it appears quite dense to the eye. The design is based on older monospace typefaces such as Letter Gothic and Prestige Elite, but with more refined curves and better spacing.
