New! Heckle is a brush script typeface for display use. It started as a tiny sketch for a t-shirt design in 2005, based on my memories of script lettering from the &#39;40s and &#39;50s.

@marksimonson I love it, Mark. There’s something so simply satisfying about it that you could create a sign for a small business incredibly fast using this face. …and I would actually love the “Heh” tee had I grabbed it in time. Omg, cafepress.

@marksimonson the different weights is cool, I feel like with these type of fonts you often only get a single weight to work with.

@marksimonson Is there any significance to the date September 16, 1959? Sep. 16th (1982) is my birthday!

@marksimonson This face makes me happy. A big brush script dopamine hit.

@marksimonson Years ago I saved this rockin logo from a small Virginia magazine featured in the Inland Printer. You just scratched that itch! https://dpmk.in/i/QmYhB5pFjs
