Tommy's First Alphabet by Tom Murphy 7 is a free childlike handwritten font with the loose, uneven rhythm of early marker lettering. The letters wobble and stretch in a way that feels genuinely first-drawn, with blunt strokes, oversized curves, and a simple awkwardness that gives it a homemade, school-paper mood.
That makes it a natural fit for scrapbook titles, classroom posters, zine headings, greeting cards, and playful packaging where a polished script would feel too knowing. As a free font, it works best in short lines, name tags, cover lines, or title cards, especially when you want the writing to feel candid, young, and a little unsteady on purpose.

Description
Created by Tom Murphy 7.
Sorry about this one... when I found this historic piece of my childhood I just had to make this font. All of the letters are authentic species from my first alphabet ever! Some punctuation has been fudged to make the font usable, but all the letters are real...
