Meiry Font
Author's note
Meiry font is a free distorted display font with warped, uneven strokes and a hand-cut feel. Its letters bend and pinch in places, mixing straight slashes with loose curves for a rough, restless rhythm that gives the design a clearly distorted edge.
Meiry works well for poster titles, album art, zine covers, event flyers, logo marks, and sticker graphics where the type needs a jagged, graphic presence. That uneven construction helps it carry a gritty or experimental tone without relying on extra decoration, so the lettering itself does most of the visual work.

Description
Some people call me Meiry.
This is my first font ever. I took graphic design classes then, and I saw this wonderful little stencil looking all innocent, lying in some drawer with nothing really special to do. So I took it home.
At first, I started writing little notes in people's study notebooks in school using my little nice stencil as a way of making nice letters that came out looking so grungey-cool.
Then, I saw how everybody makes fonts and I wanted to make a font myself, too. So I thought and thought of an idea for a typeface - and suddenly, it stroke me like a lightning! I sat down and scribbled the entire basic font character set using my little limited stencil. I cleaned them all up a bit in Photoshop and brung into Fontographer.
