Author's note

Writers Bold by Johan Waldenstrom is a free graffiti font with the rough energy of fast marker lettering cut into chunky, angular shapes. The letters lean into sharp joins, uneven heft, and hard slashes, giving the whole font a street-tag rhythm that feels improvised but still tightly packed.

It fits posters, skate and music branding, flyer headlines, zine covers, and title cards where you want that raw wall-writing attitude without drifting into cartoon territory. As a free font, it also makes sense for short logos, monograms, and drop caps, because the jagged silhouettes and compressed spacing create a compact hit even in just a few letters.
