Author's note

Neighbourhood by Andy Chung is a free rounded serif display font with a relaxed, slightly offbeat silhouette and a lightly vintage air. Its slender strokes shift gently in width, and the soft curves meet small, blunt serifs that recall informal typewriter lettering rather than polished book typography. The double-storey forms feel especially lively.

In publishing, it can lend magazine covers and literary event programs an approachable editorial voice, with enough individuality for cafe branding and bookshop signage as well. The recurring teardrop curves and hooked details connect those settings, suggesting hand-finished lettering without losing the order of a conventional text face.
