Backhand Brush

Backhand Brush font by Harold Lohner is a free decorative brush typeface with a bold, inky bite. Its chunky strokes and uneven curves feel like they were painted fast with a loaded brush, leaving a slightly mischievous, vintage-sign vibe. The rounded weight keeps it friendly, while the jagged rhythm adds attitude.

Using Backhand Brush, keep the size generous so the texture reads cleanly on posters, gig flyers, album art, T‑shirts, sticker packs, product labels, social headers, and punchy book covers. This free font also shines on short names and slogans where you want instant personality. Pair it with a calm, clean sans (think a neutral grotesk) to let the brushwork do the talking.
