Author's note

Oregano by Brian J. Bonislawsky of Astigmatic is a free comic display font with a loose, hand-drawn finish. Its tall, uneven letters shift between narrow strokes and broad curves, with pointed joins adding a lively snap. The irregular heights keep the lettering informal and quick.

Poster titles are its strongest use, followed by children's books and playful food packaging with a drawn-by-hand look. In comics, the shifting silhouettes can become part of a character's sign or speech artwork rather than neutral text.
