Author's note

Slightly Hollow, a free distorted outline display font from Unauthorized Type, feels like hand-drawn lettering caught mid-wobble. The letters lean and bulge with an uneven, hollowed contour, mixing graffiti energy with a sketchbook looseness that keeps the whole font playful rather than tidy.

It fits poster headlines, zine covers, band flyers, sticker graphics, and title cards where a free font should feel casual and a little unruly. Because the outline is roomy and the shapes bend so much, it also works well for short logos, drop-ins, and cover lines that need a doodled, offbeat voice.

Description
This version includes upper and lowercase letters, punctuation, and a few international characters. I also included some UA Type dingbats (just to amuse myself, and so you don't get those annoying boxes when you type something that isn't in the font).

This could be considered an alternative to Swollen Slightly, since it was based on it. Or maybe you would call it a variation. Some people may think it's really cool. Some people will not. Thank you for taking the time to download this and read my ramblings.
