Author's note

pencilPete by JoeBob Graphics is a free distressed handwritten display font with thin, uneven strokes and a scraped, ink-starved surface. The loose letter shapes resemble hurried pencil marks and rough dry-brush writing.

Designers working in punk, indie music, or DIY culture can use it for posters and merchandise that should feel hand-marked rather than typeset. It also suits game graphics and handmade product packaging, where the ragged edges can echo scuffs, sketches, or photocopied artwork. In editorial design, it offers magazines a convincing notebook or marginalia voice for feature openers.
