A layered display typeface digitised from Jeff Rogers's original handset lettering, offering inline, outline, drop shadow and ornament variants for a hand-sketched, retro poster feel.
About
Originally drawn by hand by New York-based designer and illustrator Jeff Rogers, YWFT Merry was converted into a working system font by YouWorkForThem with its decorative layers intact. The family includes inlines, drop shades, outlines and ornaments, allowing for stacked layering effects typical of vintage poster and signage work. Its loose, primitive character suits seasonal, children's and Americana-inflected design contexts.
Classification
A hand-lettered decorative display typeface with inline, outline, drop shadow and ornament layers, designed for layering effects. Its hand-sketched, artisanal character places it firmly in the display category.
