Handgloves
You’ve been reading it since you got here. It sets the headline on the front page, the wordmark cropped off by the bottom of it, and the letters on the card if somebody shared this with you. It’s the first font we ever finished in Pothooks and it’s been the brand ever since.
It’s a quick upright hand with a fine nib. One stroke per letter almost everywhere, tall ascenders, counters left open, and just enough lean in it that it reads as written rather than drawn. Long lines are where it does best: the letters are narrow, and the gaps between them were set by the same spacing pass every font here gets.
The bold isn’t a second drawing. It’s the same hand under a heavier nib, so the two stay in step whatever size you set them at.

You pay once. The files turn up straight after checkout, and you can download them again any time you need them.
REGULAR · 400
A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, and then does it again at half the size to see whether the counters hold up.
BOLD · 700
A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, and then does it again at half the size to see whether the counters hold up.
Both weights share one family name, so your computer groups them and gives you bold the way it would with any other font. There’s no second font to install and nothing to fake.
Use it for anything you like, on as many machines and websites as you like, commercially, without crediting us. The one thing you can’t do is hand the files on to somebody else. We drew this one, so we’re licensing it to you rather than giving it away.
A font you draw yourself here works the other way round. That one is yours outright, resale and all, because you made it. Read the full licence.

One folder per format. The OTFs go into Font Book, the WOFF2s go on a server, and you take whichever you came for. Nobody should have to choose a format at checkout.
We drew every face in here using Pothooks, the same tool that turns your handwriting into a font in the browser. Yours would come out the way this one did.
