How it works
A hashtag in bubble letters is four fat bars crossing round one small square, and the square is the hard part: fattening shrinks it to a dot. The set opens in Mochiy Pop One, whose bars keep flat ends.

Four bars, six ways
Mochiy Pop One has flat ends and leans a little. Bubblegum Sans stands upright, the smallest of the six. Fredoka and Lilita One lean, with round ends. Chango is upright and wide. Chewy leans the most, its two uprights nearly touching.
The square in the middle
The Bubble look shrinks the square to a black dot or dash in five fonts and closes it in Chewy. Set Look to Outline or Hollow and it opens white in all six.
- By hand, draw the two leaning uprights first, then the two level bars across them, and leave the gaps wide.
- #1 and No. 1 are two ways to print number one.
Questions and answers
How do you draw a number sign in bubble letters?
Pencil two uprights that lean a little and two level bars across them. Draw one rounded outline round the whole shape and a small square inside the middle, then rub out the pencil. Page two of the set shows the four steps.
Is a hashtag the same as a number sign?
Yes. Number sign, hashtag, hash and pound sign are names for one character. After your first print, tap #Goals or #Teamwork to see it lead a word, or type your own tag, ten characters or fewer so the steps show it whole.
Can I print one big hashtag?
Yes. The last of the three pages is a single large # to color or cut out. In the Bubble look its middle is a small black mark; Outline leaves a white square there.
