Author's note

Pinda by David Kerkhoff is a free handwritten display font with broad, uneven strokes and tall, loosely shaped letters. The forms lean and swell independently, with rounded joins and sudden changes in width. It feels quickly drawn.

Packaging gives this lettering a convincing home, especially on snack and craft drink labels. Posters and music merchandise can use its unruly shapes to suggest something handmade and loud. The friendly wobble is especially suited to younger audiences and informal local arts scenes.
