Font that looks roughly sketched?

May 28, 2009 1:21 PM

Hey, another font question! Do you know the font used in this image, or another font like?

I love the roughly-sketched look of the font in the sample, but I've never seen one like it elsewhere. Given the way the characters are 'drawn' to resemble classic serif characters, my searches are baffling Identifont and WTF.

I'd really like to find this specific font, but I'd love to know about similar ones as well, if you have anything you'd care to point out.

Thanks in advance, gang!

I don't know that font, but will stay tuned for the answer.

Sorta similar is crackbabies. It's a distressed serif, though I like this mystery font better.

Using identifont I came up with P22 Stanyan

Thanks, miss meg, you clearly got it. I wonder why I couldn't use Identifont to the same success. Oh well!
