SkandiamannenSloppy – the font

“SkandiamannenSloppy” is my first font project i.e. the purpose has been to learn the basics in creating a complete font. The inspiration has been the magnificent handwriting style of the so-called “Skandiamannen”, a witness?/suspect? in the Palme-murder investigation in the 1980s. SkandiamannenSloppy is hence a tribute. The original handwriting is a bounded script (glyphs are bound together). In this font however, I have not mastered to bind the glyphs. Therefore, and because the glyphs themselves are not nearly as precise as Skandiamannen’s, the name is “Sloppy”.

Feel free to use it!

Update:

Eating my breakfast, staring at the cereal package, I realize the font used by Havrefras looks suspiciously alike Skandiamannen´s handwriting. Conspiracy theorists, do your thing.
