Mad Somnambulist

by Joseph M. Pence

Mad Somnambulist is a bold, unsteady handwritten face from Joseph M. Pence that looks like someone scrawled it half-asleep with a thick pen. The letterforms are irregular and rough, each one leaning or stumbling in its own direction, giving it a restless, slightly unhinged personality. It works best in headlines and short display text where its quirky, off-balance energy can read as playful rather than chaotic.
