Author's note

Cometbus by Zoya Feldman is a free handwritten display font with tall, loosely drawn capitals and an unmistakably homemade spirit. Stroke widths shift gently, and the uneven proportions make each letter seem written at its own pace. The rounded forms stay light and open.

Themes of independent music, street culture, and personal publishing suit its unpolished lettering, making it useful for gig posters, album artwork, and magazine covers. It also fits cafe menus and small-batch packaging aimed at audiences who respond to candid, DIY design rather than polished corporate branding.

Based on Aaron Cometbus's handwriting in the Cometbus zine.
