Author's note

Wacko, by A.J. Palmer, is a free handwritten graffiti font with a scrappy, cartoonish swagger. The letters pitch and lean with thick brushy curves, stubby cross-strokes, and exaggerated hooks that make the whole design feel jittery, loud, and a little unruly.

It fits best anywhere you want lettering to feel drawn on the fly - zine covers, skate flyers, band stickers, party posters, and short title cards all make sense for this free font. Use it when a word needs bounce and mischief more than polish, especially for brief headlines or monogram-style marks where those swollen, off-kilter forms can do the talking.
