How it works
Mom in bubble letters opens on one sideways sheet in Fredoka: black outline, white middle, a 58 mm capital M. Two of its three letters are an m, a wide letter, so Mom prints a size under Dad's 68 mm.

Mom, Mum or Mam: one size, whichever she is
Mom is the spelling in the United States, Canada and South Africa, Mum in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, Mam in Ireland, Wales and the north of the UK. All three stand 58 mm on one sheet in Fredoka, because o, u and a are near one width. Mama drops to 47 mm, Mommy and Mummy to 37. Press Next style twice for Chewy, the tallest: Mom 71 mm.
A Mom and Dad pair that match
Printed apart in Fredoka, Mom is 58 mm and Dad 68, so the two signs differ. Type Mom, press Enter, type Dad: both words come out 51 mm tall on the same sheet. Cut between them.
Tips
- Turn a printed MOM upside down and it reads WOW, clearest in Chewy and DynaPuff.
- Mum has no holes to colour around, Mom one and Mama two. Chewy and Lilita One pinch the o to a slit; Hollow opens it.
- Mamá keeps its accent in all six fonts, and prints 47 mm tall in Fredoka, the same as Mama.
