Misplaced Pen - A Heavy Ink Display Font

Misplaced Pen is a bold, tactile display font inspired by the charming grit of mid-century letterpress and worn-out hand-painted signage. It looks like a sign in the window of a shop that’s been closed since 1964—heavy, rounded, and unapologetically imperfect.

Designed for when "clean and digital" just isn't the right answer, this font features soft terminals and "ink-bleed" edges that mimic the weight of a physical stamp.

What's it great for?

• Industrial Branding: Logos that need to feel permanent and blue-collar.
• Tactile Packaging: Craft coffee, apothecary bottles, or heavy-duty goods.
• Editorial Grime: Zines, gig posters, and low-fi layouts.
• "Handmade" Identity: Anything that needs to look like it was made by a human in a hurry.

Rough Rider is designed for medium to large sizes, where spacing and rhythm matter.

What's included?

• Misplaced-Pen.otf (The full display face)
• Uppercase Alphabet (Plus numbers and essential punctuation)
• The Vibe: Thick stems, pillowy joints, and zero sterile lines.
