Author's note

Make Em Look Bad by Jennings Humphries is a free handwritten display font with loose, wiry strokes and deliberately uneven letter shapes. Its tall loops and wandering baselines give the writing a quick, unpolished quality.

Designers working on youth culture, DIY music, or offbeat comedy can use it for posters, album artwork, and event graphics. The thin, irregular lines feel closer to marker scrawl than careful penmanship, which makes the lettering useful for projects built around nervous humor or homemade artwork. In editorial design, it can turn a magazine pull quote or section opener into a rough personal note from the author.
