Author's note

Folk-Sketches by Marcelo Magalhaes is a free graffiti script with tall, outlined caps and the restless line of a quick marker sketch. Uneven widths and imperfect joins keep the forms raw and lively.

Its open interiors and loose contours can echo black-and-white doodles or comic illustration, making it useful for bold poster lettering, album artwork, and streetwear graphics with a scrappy underground edge. The same rough drawing quality also suits youth event flyers and independent magazine covers, where the alphabet can become part of an illustrated scene instead of reading like neutral type.
