Pencil Shading

by Jonathan S. Harris · Website

Pencil Shading by Jonathan S. Harris looks like letterforms built entirely from crosshatched pencil strokes, each character filled with visible diagonal hatching that mimics a real graphite sketch. The effect is detailed and surprisingly legible at larger sizes, giving headlines, posters, and editorial work a hand-drawn, illustrative quality that feels genuinely artistic rather than gimmicky. Best kept to display use where the delicate shading texture has room to read.
