Sketchnote Typeface

Mike Rohde, on the newly developed Sketchnote Typeface:

Sketchnote Text, Italic and Bold were built from hundreds of hand-drawn glyphs, and variations on glyphs. These added characters allowed Delve to create Contextual Alternates — multiple variations on each character which help recreate variations in handwriting and can be accessed with tools that support this OpenType feature, like InDesign.

Handwriting typefaces are hard but this one looks pretty great. As with Mr. Porter’s Handwriting, the key seems to be variation within the individual characters.
