Outside Voice Handwriting Font Family
A font for a cause
On June 20, 2020, I donated 100% of the proceeds from the first eight days of Outside Voice’s release to the Black Artists + Designers Guild. (You can read more about why I chose BADG as the recipient here.) Thank you to everyone to supported this fundraiser! Together, we were able to give $570 to this great organization.

Outside Voice is an homage to handwritten protest signs.
There is value in polished, “perfect” letters, but equal value in unpolished, imperfect ones. That raw humanity is what I’ve embraced with this typeface project. I’m genuinely obsessed with homemade poster lettering and the unique energy it conveys. The filled-in capital letters of varying widths and heights. The off-kilter slants. The bleeding marker strokes. The lines that squish up to the edge of the poster board and get smaller and smaller to squeeze in. The simple drawings that convey the message at a glance. The anger and the sadness, the love and the unity.
Unique and powerful letterform alternates
With contextual alternates enabled, Outside Voice will automatically cycle through three sets of handwritten alphabets as you type. The result is type that looks as imperfect and handmade as a digital font can get. This makes Outside Voice a wonderful choice for pairing with hand-drawn illustrations. Consider varying the size, slant, and/or color of each line in your layouts—adjustments that make Outside Voice look even more handmade and organic.
Outside Voice includes:
Four fonts: Regular, Regular Italic, Medium, Medium Italic, and Outline.
600 glyphs and icons
3 sets of the complete, all-caps Latin alphabet (with all accent marks),
3 sets of the complete, all-caps Modern Greek alphabet (with all accent marks),
a set of popular protest iconography,
a set of decorated words and ligatures,
numerals, fractions, and decorated numbers,
extensive punctuation and diacritical markings.
The ligatures and alternates are the fun part.
This type family has tons of built-in OpenType ligatures and alternates, which are what make it so customizable and decorative. The most essential are the contextual alternates, which turn on cycling between the three alphabet sets, so be sure to turn those on!
To get the most out of Outside Voice, use software that supports Open Type fonts (Adobe programs, Corel Draw, Affinity Designer, etc). You can always access the ligatures, alternates, and dingbats through your software’s glyphs panel. In Adobe programs, you can control which ligature and style sets are turned on in the OpenType palette.
Language support: Outside Voice supports Latin (with accent marks for dozens of languages) and Modern Greek.
