Sleeve Notes

Sleeve Notes is a script font and all-caps pair with a loose hand-written style that explores the golden age of record stores, vinyl albums, cassettes, and CDs. It imagines our teenage selves kicking back with a coke (oversized headphones on), discovering a new band, and studying the notes on their latest album. Besides production credits, the best sleeves (otherwise known as liner notes) included photos, cool artwork, and hand-written song lyrics that gave the listener a human connection to the mind of the artist.

This font embraces its subtle ink blotches and rough edges; all imperfections that build to create a sense of a hastily written lyric, set-list, or just a fun little scribble.

The package includes six fonts in total: the regular script with two complete sets of alternatives, then two sets of all-caps, and finally the special characters font that features a decorative alphabet plus symbols and underlines.

For authentically retro, hand-made-looking lettering, it’s a great choice and offers the flexibility few other fonts can match.
