Author's note

Cell 63, by Ryland Sanders, is a free rounded modern display font with tall, compact letters and gently irregular curves. Soft stroke endings and narrow spacing give the lettering an informal, hand-shaped rhythm without losing its clean graphic presence.

This free font suits gig posters, music artwork, independent magazines, zine covers, and playful brand packaging. Its upright energy and closely packed forms work especially well for short headlines and title cards, where the rounded shapes can carry the composition without extra ornament.

Cell 63 is my first font.

It is based on the hand-lettered credit and title cards in the movie Forbidden Zone (1980). The lettering was done by animator John Muto.
