scriptinformal handwriting
Jaggy specimen from ParaType

A single-weight informal script from 2006 with deliberately rough contours that mimic felt pen on rough paper at small sizes.

About

Designed by Isabella Chaeva for ParaType, Jaggy uses jagged character outlines to recreate the tactile quality of handwriting on coarse paper. The effect is most pronounced at smaller sizes, where the rough contours read as authentic pen texture. It is suited to advertising, display settings and informal editorial contexts such as children's books and magazine headlines.

Classification

An informal handwriting script with deliberately rough, jaggy contours designed to simulate the texture of felt pen on rough paper, placing it firmly in the casual script category.
