Zhang QA Font
Author's note
Zhang QA by UnAuthorized Type is a free hand-drawn display font with a breezy, sketchbook feel. The letters mix thin, casual strokes with a few playful flourishes, especially the stylized Z, so the font reads less like strict lettering and more like a quick personal mark.
It fits posters, cafe menus, zine covers, packaging labels, and short brand signatures where a light human touch matters more than polish. As a free font, it also makes sense for title cards, nameplates, and brief header lines, since those loose curves and little decorative accents give even a few words a distinct, offhand character.

Description
This version includes capital and lowercase letters, some commonly used punctuation and a few international characters (by special request).
I major in Business at LA Tech. Everyone that majors in business has to take Quantitative Analysis 233. It is an extremely boring class. My teacher was especially boring. He was not from America, and could not speak English very well. He compensated for this by not speaking very much. My teacher's name was Hongkai Zhang. Since his lectures inspired this font, I felt it would do justice to name it after him and his class.
The uppercase of this font was designed to look like letters running away. That's what half the class was doing the day I drew this font. The other half wanted to. Except me. I was having fun drawing this font.
