Author's note

Big Ruckus AOE, designed by Brian J. Bonislawsky of Astigmatic, is a free hand-drawn display font with lanky, irregular letterforms. Stroke widths shift abruptly, and the pinched joins and swollen curves give the writing a lively, slightly unruly, distinctive silhouette.

Used as hand-lettered branding, it can turn a cafe logo or children's product label into something warm, friendly, and knowingly odd. Comedy posters and music merchandise suit its offbeat drawing style. The letters can become part of a cartoon sign or crooked emblem, not just text placed beside the artwork.
