About Neucha

Neucha is a handwriting typeface with narrow, upright, unjoined letters whose strokes keep an even thickness and end in round tips, like writing with a marker. Its designer, Jovanny Lemonad, tells the origin plainly: the font was invented in 2005 to write a single phrase, I love you, and the first version took eight hours; he later redrew it from scratch, changing some glyphs and polishing the rest. The name, he says, is Russian for someone who does not know how to make fonts properly. In the specimen the stems wobble slightly and letter heights vary a little, which keeps the line looking written. The family is one Regular style with 285 glyphs, covering the basic Latin and Cyrillic subsets. There is no bold or italic, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Neucha works

Hand-written notes in Russian

Cyrillic was part of the design from the start, so a note, label or caption can be set in Russian, Ukrainian or Bulgarian.

Comics and storyboards

Narrow letters fit a lot of dialogue into a balloon, and the marker stroke matches inked drawings.

Children's worksheets and posters

Unjoined, upright letters with round stroke ends look friendly and stay easy to make out.

Annotations on photos and diagrams

A line of Neucha beside an arrow reads as a remark scribbled by hand on the image.

Letters do not join

Neucha imitates printed handwriting. It is not a connected script.
