Zhrier Distressed Italic

Zhrier is a brand new handwritten typeface by Paul Motisi. That’s me.

It’s fresh, with just a little hint of 1995 home PC nostalgia. It’s based off of my personal handwriting, albeit with much more finesse. To do this, I wrote on my personal whiteboard calendar, captured characters, and established guidelines on how to unify each glyph. Though I personally tend to write in all caps, there’s a full lowercase set to serve your text.

There are over 180 glyphs for each style, of which there are four; both the clean and the distressed styles have regular and italic forms. There’s a few discretionary ligatures as well, so you can add some panache to your paragraphs as needed.

If you’re looking to create a whiteboard explainer style video, or annotate a document with a font that jumps out at the audience, Zhrier is the right font for you!
