About Stefan
About this typeface
Info
ABC Stefan is a digitization of the artist Stefan Marx’s handwriting, complete with lightning bolt-like swashes and a mistake function for crossing out errors. It’s available in three subfamilies — Simple, Bubble, and Bubble Tight — and also contains an emoji pack of standard Apple icons rendered in Stefan’s hand.
What makes handwriting feel like handwriting is its inconsistencies. Stefan has drawn four versions of every letter for ABC Stefan (so four A’s, four B’s, four C’s, etc.) — and also four versions of every punctuation mark, symbol, and figure. While digitizing, we built a randomizer function straight into the font software, which randomly displays different versions of letters as you type. This means that just like a human’s handwriting, there are subtle inconsistencies in the digital characters of ABC Stefan in strings of text.
