Author's note

The Question font by Origin Type is a free handwritten typeface. It solves the tricky brief of “friendly but readable,” with soft, rounded strokes, a steady x-height, and gentle bounce that feels human without getting messy. The monoline weight and open counters keep text clear at small sizes, while the spacing has that easy, note-in-the-margin rhythm designers reach for but rarely find.

Using The Question, headlines and callouts pop on classroom worksheets, explainer graphics, recipe cards, event flyers, journaling apps, and YouTube thumbnails. This free font brings warmth without clutter, so your message stays front and center. Pair it with a crisp geometric sans for body copy, and let The Question handle the conversational bits at medium to large sizes.
