Author's note

Mosquito Italic by Piet Brantjes is a free rough-brush handwritten font with a quick, slanted rhythm and a slightly unruly feel. The letters look sketched in one energetic pass, with wiry strokes, loose joins, and a few long loops that give it a restless, human edge.

It fits poster headlines, music flyers, zine covers, title cards, and short branding lines where that raw motion helps carry the message. Used as a free font for opening quotes, band names, event promos, or packaging callouts, it works best in brief display settings, because the scratched brush texture and wandering baseline are really the point.
