Ingo's Marker Hand
IngoFonts · Ingo
A digitised marker-pen handwriting font with multiple alternate letterforms, hundreds of ligatures and deliberately imperfect details to imitate a personal, freely written script.
About
Written with a thick rectangular-tipped marker on a smooth board, the typeface captures the natural irregularities of handwriting: uneven stroke weight, inconsistent letterforms and characters that drift from the baseline. Multiple alternate glyphs for every letter and numeral, combined with hundreds of contextual ligatures, prevent the repetition that typically betrays digital script fonts. Worn-pen blurring and ink spread on delicate forms such as 'e' and 'o' are preserved as intentional details that reinforce the handmade impression. OpenType features allow individual characteristics to be toggled within supporting applications.
Classification
Freely written marker script digitised with multiple alternates and hundreds of ligatures to simulate genuine handwriting irregularities. The thick rectangular-tipped marker nib and textured writing surface lend it a casual, informal script character rather than a formal calligraphic one.
