Typeface: LilMrkr

LilMrkr is a dense, marker-pen, hand-drawn font with pseudo-randomisation and multilingual support! Check the LilMrkr Font Guide for more info on how it works and which characters it supports. You can see the Font Guide in the images on the right, or download HTML file for free below.

What are the different versions?

The typeface comes in two different levels of randomisation, where it uses differently-drawn versions of each character to reduce the chance of seeing the exact same shapes near each other:

• Regular has 3 versions, and
• Extra has 12 versions!

What's the license?

How was this made?

I made this typeface using Calligraphr and Glyphs—Calligraphr to take actual marker-pen letters and convert them into bezier curves, and Glyphs to tweak the font and make the randomisation more thorough than what Calligraphr offers on its free tier.

v1.0 was made as part of FontJam, as a demo of using Calligraphr (for analog drawing). I decided to expand on the original (which only supported English, and most French and German characters) to make v1.1 by adding over 50 more characters to cover most Western European and South American characters from Latin-script languages (A-Z, a-z, accented versions, etc.). v1.2 added a few more quote marks, v1.3 added dice and poker symbols, as well as a range of new glyphs, and v1.4 added most other European Latin-script characters, Gaelic type, tarot minor arcana, and other new glyphs.
