Author's note

Knits and Scraps, by S. John Ross, is a free hand-cut comic display font with lopsided letters and broad, blunt strokes. Its uneven edges and shifting proportions give the lettering a playful, pieced-together rhythm, as if assembled from paper offcuts.

The jaunty irregularity brings a handmade spark to children's book covers and craft packaging, while knitting event posters and comic title cards gain a friendly, offbeat voice. This free font can also shape playful shop signage or social graphics when a project needs lettering that feels drawn rather than typeset.
