Jotterscript Font

Author's note

Jotterscript font by Rolf Skyberg is a free handwritten script typeface with the bold, inky punch of a favorite black marker. Its strokes feel loose and casual, but the spacing is steady enough that lines read cleanly, even in a quick skim. Letters lean and bounce just a bit, giving text a human, slightly messy charm-like notes scrawled on a whiteboard or the title across a well-worn sketchbook.

Using Jotterscript, you can bring that energetic, hand-done feel to posters, zines, classroom materials, social graphics, product labels, and informal invitations. This free font shines when set larger, where its chunky curves and thick joins really show, and it pairs smoothly with a simple sans serif for small supporting text.

Description
The Making of Jotterscript:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
What should I make for my first font? My own handwriting of course.

This Second Version was long in the coming, but I think that it's worth
it. It includes character updates and enhanced kerning! What does that
mean to you? It LOOKS better!

Please mail me with any comments that you have, I am always looking
to improve my fonts.

Version 2.5 includes more extended characters and improved metrics.
