Skune: A hand drawn variable font
I like tall fonts and I cannot lie. I also like hand drawn glyphs with square-shaped counters. Skune is a variable font that combines all of these characteristics.
By default, it is upright, but glyphs are intrinsically skewed. Given the sometimes rune-like forms, the name combines “skew” with “rune”.
The Slant (slnt) axis actually rotates the glyphs to the right, ensuring the hand drawn shapes are not distorted. At small values, this adds a subtle dynamism. Applied to the extreme (100 is the highest value), the slant nullifies the skew: upper edges become almost parallel with the baseline, changing the character of the font quite significantly.
(Note: This demo uses a subsetted version of the font. Here is the full version.)
Skune is designed to have the jagged, frenetic appeal of lo-fi garage punk. As such, you should find it works for flyers and zines. The font comes with uppercase, numbers, punctuation, and symbols.
Skune Punch
Skune is accompanied by Skune Punch, where a selection of counters are filled. It’s a stencil-like version of Skune, with added street cred’.
