Author's note

!PaulMaul font by Choz Cunningham of !Exclamachine is a free handwritten font that looks like it’s been scrawled in thick, inky marker on the back of a notebook. Tall, narrow letters wobble slightly as they run, giving every word a jittery, offbeat energy. The strokes feel loose and confident rather than messy, so you get attitude and legibility in the same breath.

Using !PaulMaul, your layouts instantly pick up a scrappy, DIY voice that stands out in a sea of polished sameness. This free font shines on gig posters, zines, indie comic covers, YouTube thumbnails, band merch, and sticker packs. Set it big for titles, then pair it with a simple sans serif for supporting text to keep the chaos charming, not chaotic.
