Rockinstead counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... Eight variations per letter, plus alternates for numbers and even for punctuation marks! It is equipped with some clever OpenType programming to make substitutions on-the-fly: the Contextual Alternates feature, with the help of a very careful kerning table, takes care of cycling the alternates in an amazing random-like way, impressively mimicking a true handwritten text.
The Discretionary Ligatures feature manages the substitution of handy cursive catchwords, adding that charming twist.
This typeface was originally painted on paper, drawing inspiration from Ralph Steadman’s seminal lettering style.
On a first glance it may look quite wild - and it proudly is, indeed. But look again: it is stylishly wild, it is strong, unpredictable, full of attitude and good energy. This multifaceted font will certainly strike its way for free-spirited design applications.
Just please be warned: it’s seriously addictive!
