The Story of Badtype

Farida

Handwriting

Open Source

Badtype font is a handwriting typeface with bold brush letterforms and grunge bad character. The hand-drawn strokes create bad type presence suited for badtype content. This typeface performs well in grunge bad branding, bold brush graphics, bad handwritten materials, and badtype content where grunge badness matters. The bold, grunge quality makes Badtype effective for authentic bad type design. Designers creating grunge products, bad materials, or bold grunge content will find this typeface delivers appropriate bad character. Pairs effectively with distressed industrial faces for cohesive badtype design systems.

Badtype was created by Farida. The typeface shows dedication to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Badtype features disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for pull quotes and editorial accent text.

Badtype is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency across digital and print workflows, with 3 font pairings curated. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
