“groovy mother...”

Looking for a good “handwritten” font to create some deliberately sketchy-looking UI sketches, I discovered this one, based upon Hugh Laurie’s handwriting captured from whiteboards on House: A winning combination of legibility, scrawliness, and weird obsessive behaviour by the font-maker. Perfect!

Bitstream’s open-sourced Vera fonts, tweaked to include masses of Unicodery. Vera Sans Mono has been my text-editor font of choice for a while.

Turns out that the official London Underground typeface is not, as I had been lead to believe, Gill Sans, but instead “Johnston”.
