Author's note

LeftyBold by Ted Alspach is a free handwritten display font with the quick, unpolished movement of marker lettering. Its strokes change width as they loop and cross, and the letters lean into one another with uneven joins. The line feels genuinely hand drawn.

A food package is a strong fit because the lettering resembles a name dashed across a label. It also suits cafe branding, children's posters, and music merchandise. In magazines, it can make a feature title feel like a lively handwritten note.
