Author's note

Short Stack by James Grieshaber of Sorkin Type Co is a free handwritten font with rounded, loosely drawn letters and an easygoing stance. Its uneven heights, changing stroke widths, and gently skewed forms retain the small inconsistencies of marker lettering without looking rough.

Friendly subjects such as children's stories and school activities suit its approachable shapes, making it useful for picture-book covers, classroom materials, activity sheets, and local community event posters. Soft curves give cafe packaging a convincing hand-labeled quality.
