Author's note

GrutchHanded by Steeve Gruson is a free hand-drawn eroded display font with the loose, blobby feel of marker lettering left to wobble and wear. The letters look uneven in a very human way, with swollen strokes, rough edges, and little hollow nicks that make the whole font feel playful, odd, and slightly grimy.

It fits posters, zine covers, comic-style title cards, offbeat branding, and short packaging headlines where a clean finish would feel too polite. As a free font, it also makes sense for quick flyer work, album art, or big drop-ins that need a scribbled, handmade voice rather than a polished display style.
