Okay, so I needed a specific look for some text I was messing with. Something kinda rough, handwritten-ish, but bold, you know? Not flimsy. I spent a good while just clicking around, trying different things out.
I remember scrolling through tons of options. Most were too clean, too fancy, or just plain weird. You know how it is, you have this vague idea in your head but finding the exact thing is a pain. I almost gave up and just picked something generic.
Then I landed on this font. It was all uppercase, which caught my eye immediately because that’s kinda what I was leaning towards anyway. Looked strong, a bit like someone quickly brushed the letters on, but clear enough to read easily. It had a bit of grit to it.
Getting it Ready
So, I grabbed the font file. The usual process, download the thing, unzip it if needed. Then I just popped it into the fonts folder on my machine. Nothing complicated there, thankfully. Sometimes installing stuff can be a hassle, but this was straightforward.
Fired up the program I was using – just a basic graphics tool, nothing fancy. Typed out the words I needed using this new font.
Trying it Out
My first thought was, yeah, this works. It had that handmade but confident feel I was after. Since it was all caps, I didn’t have to worry about lowercase letters looking weird or inconsistent. It just looked solid.
- Played around with the size a bit.
- Adjusted the spacing between letters – kerning, I think they call it? Anyway, just nudged them closer or further apart until it looked right.
- Tried it against different backgrounds.
It definitely has a distinct personality. It’s not gonna work for everything, obviously. If you need something formal or super elegant, this ain’t it. But for titles, headers, or short bits of text where you want some punch and a bit of a raw feel, it did the trick for me.
I ended up using it for the header graphic I was making. It just fit the vibe perfectly. Saved me a lot more searching, which was a relief. It’s always nice when you find something that just clicks like that without wasting half your day.
