How it works
Arkansas in bubble letters, drawn across one sideways sheet. It starts in Chewy, which makes these eight letters taller than the other five fonts do and shuts the capital A and both small a's to dark marks.

The flag writes the name inside a diamond
The state flag carries the word itself: ARKANSAS in blue across a white diamond, on a red field. Type the name in capitals, color the letters blue, then rule a diamond round them with a blue border and red corners.
The Natural State, its cities and its mountains
Once a sheet has printed, tap Arkansas words in bubble letters beneath it for the ready words. The Natural / State is the nickname. Little Rock is the capital and the largest city; Fayetteville and Fort Smith come next in size, and Jonesboro is a city too. Ozarks and Ouachita name the two mountain regions, and Mount / Magazine is the highest point.
- Mochiy Pop One is the only one of the six that leaves all three a's white; Look set to Hollow reopens them in Chewy.
- Hot / Springs names a national park and Buffalo / River a national river; Crater of / Diamonds is a state park where visitors may dig for diamonds.
- Ozarks comes out tallest of the ready words in Chewy, and Fayetteville, twelve letters in a row, smallest.
Questions and answers
How do you draw Arkansas in bubble letters?
Pencil A, r, k, a, n, s, a, s lightly and well apart. Trace a fat rounded outline round each one, leave a small ring inside the capital A and each small a, curl both s's the same way, then erase the pencil and color.
Is the s at the end of Arkansas silent?
Yes. In 1881 the state legislature set the official pronunciation with the final s silent, so the name is said AR-kan-saw. On a poster the s is still written: eight letters, the last one an s.
Can I print Arkansas as a banner?
Yes. One letter per page, under More options, prints eight upright sheets to tape in a row. The small a and the s each come twice.
