About Walter Turncoat
Walter Turncoat is a handwriting typeface that looks like capitals printed quickly with a felt marker. The line keeps one thickness, its edges are slightly ragged, and the strokes wobble instead of running straight. There is no true lowercase: the lowercase keys give smaller capitals, so a word typed in mixed case sets as a large initial followed by small caps. Letters are wide, the crossbar of the A sits low, and the numerals are as broad as the capitals. The family is one Regular style with 228 glyphs in the basic Latin subset and is not a variable font. It is credited to Sideshow, a trading name of Font Diner, Inc; the font's name table gives the designer as Squid, and the official description is a joke biography of a fictional printer called Walter. The license is Apache 2.0.
