Urban Sketch

by Nils von Blanc · Website

Urban Sketch by Nils von Blanc is a display face where every letterform looks like it was built up from pencil hatching, with visible cross-strokes and a light, airy texture that mimics an actual sketchbook drawing. The effect is more illustrative than typographic, giving headlines and posters a raw, artistic quality that feels genuinely hand-drawn rather than digitally roughened. Best kept to large sizes where the hatched detail stays legible and the draftsmanship can do its thing.
