There’s plenty of sketchy, marker fonts floating around the Internet so why pick this one? Because it’s like four fonts in one. Marker Aid Foundry : Pintassilgo Prints Designer(s) : Ricardo Marcin and Erica Jung Cost: $24 per style Ridewell is definitely a display face where a little goes a long way. It’s compressed size gives it character and will help fitting it in small headline spaces. In the spirit of old block posters, the fonts come packed with ligatures and alternates to create stacked letter effects. Besides the clean version shown above, there is also a distressed printed version. ![]() In the middle of the pack this month is a vintage, wood type inspired typeface by Kostas Bartsokas called Ridewell.

It does have a slight industrial feel but with some of its more fun alternates and swashes can break free of feeling machined.
