Author's note

Alex Toth by Daniel Werneck is a free handwritten display font with the force of lettering drawn quickly with a broad marker. Its uneven strokes shift from blunt, dense forms to sudden tapered ends, and the irregular angles keep the capitals lively. The shapes are raw and direct.

Posters are its strongest setting, especially for comics, live music, or independent film. The same rough, hand-inked construction suits album artwork and merchandise, where the lettering can become part of the illustration rather than a neutral caption. Designers working in underground publishing and youth-focused entertainment will find its restless, improvised manner especially relevant.
