Handwriting

Open Source

Rain City font is a handwriting typeface with casual letterforms that drip with rainy, Pacific Northwest personality. Each character displays wet shapes with rain city character suggesting Seattle-style weather and rainy urban charm. This casual style suits Pacific Northwest content, rainy city branding, and designs celebrating rain culture with gentle urban warmth. The rain city reference emphasizes wet climate character. For designers creating PNW content, Rain City delivers appropriate rainy character. Complements gray and blue palettes.

Rain City was created by Kelly Lui. The typeface demonstrates a commitment to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Rain City 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.

Rain City is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency across digital and print workflows, with 5 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
