La Siren specimen from 6TM Magazine

A hand-lettered display face by Madeline O'Donoghue with 49 glyphs, built around deliberately uneven strokes and weathered texture inspired by mermaid folklore and coastal imagery.

About

The letterforms lean on irregular rhythm and organic wobble to evoke salt-worn surfaces and handwritten ephemera from seaside towns. Its uppercase-only character set and limited glyph count of 49 make it best suited to short-form applications such as logos, menus, bar signage and zine titles. The raw, handcrafted quality is the point rather than a shortcoming.

Classification

A hand-lettered display face with deliberately irregular, organic strokes evocative of coastal and folk imagery. Its rough, imperfect character places it firmly in the hand-drawn display category rather than a conventional script.
