Author's note

Sahara by Mario Arturo is a free handwritten display font with long, sweeping strokes and a distinctly improvised silhouette. Oversized loops and sudden directional changes keep the letters lively.

Fashion labels and independent music venues could use this unconventional lettering for youth-focused logos, posters, merchandise, and event graphics with an offbeat handmade edge. The looping forms can also echo ribbons, cords, or loose line drawings, letting the type become part of the graphic theme rather than just a caption.

Years ago, I found a similar font online and modified it by hand before placing it in Fontographer. This font is free for non-commercial use and donationware for commercial use. Donations can be made through PayPal at:
