## About Permanent Marker

Permanent Marker is a handwriting typeface that reproduces the look of capital letters written quickly with a broad marker. The strokes are thick with slightly ragged edges, the letters lean to the right, and they sit unevenly on the baseline as hand lettering does. There is no true lowercase: typing lowercase letters gives a second, smaller set of capitals, so mixed-case text reads like small caps. The ampersand is drawn as a plus-like scrawl and the braces as rough brackets. The font comes from Font Diner, has a single Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 230 glyphs cover the basic Latin subset, which is enough for English and Western European languages such as French, German and Spanish. Unlike most families in this library it is published under the Apache License 2.0, not the Open Font License.

## Where it works

- **Hand-lettered poster lines**: Thick, ragged strokes make a short slogan look written on the sheet with a marker.
- **Sticky notes and annotations in mock-ups**: Uneven baselines and a forward lean read as a person's quick note on top of a tidy layout.
- **Stickers, tags and price signs**: Capitals only, in a heavy stroke, stay readable on small printed labels.
- **Video thumbnails and social posts**: Two sizes of capitals let a phrase be stressed without switching to another font.

## Things to know

- **No lowercase letters**: Lowercase keys output smaller capitals. Text typed in mixed case appears as large and small capitals.
- **One style**: Permanent Marker has a single Regular file, with no bold or italic and no variable axes.
- **Apache License 2.0**: The license differs from the Open Font License used by most open fonts: copies carry the license text and notices, and changed files must say they were changed.
- **Basic Latin coverage**: The 230 glyphs cover the latin subset only. Turkish, Central European languages, Cyrillic and Greek are not included.
