Description

Gladly Mailed is a quirky ballpoint handwriting family inspired by skippy notes, margin scribbles, reminder lists, and the imperfect charm of everyday writing.
Its uneven rhythm, shifting pressure, and informal baseline give it the feeling of something quickly written by hand rather than carefully manufactured. The result is warm, approachable, and a little unruly — useful when a design needs to feel personal, casual, sincere, or spontaneous.
Gladly Mailed works well for notes, journals, social graphics, greeting cards, classroom materials, packaging, labels, planner pages, and lifestyle branding that calls for a human touch. It is especially useful in designs where polish is not the point, and personality matters more than perfection.
The family includes Gladly Mailed and Gladly Mailed Two. The companion style swaps the primary and alternate glyph sets, giving designers an easy way to change the handwriting rhythm without manually choosing alternate characters.
Gladly Mailed brings the texture of real pen movement to digital design: loose, personal, and gladly imperfect.

Type Designer

Dear Alison

Dear Alison is a type foundry devoted to expressive typefaces with warmth, charm, and character. Inspired by handwritten letters, old journals, vintage ephemera, personal keepsakes, and the emotional texture of printed things, the collection explores fonts that feel human rather than mechanical.

The Dear Alison library includes graceful scripts, casual handwriting, romantic brush lettering, nostalgic display faces, warm serifs, and typewriter-inspired designs. Some are refined and elegant; others are loose, imperfect, or full of everyday personality. Together, they are made for designers who want type with voice, memory, and feeling.

Dear Alison fonts are well suited for stationery, greeting cards, packaging, book covers, invitations, branding, journals, labels, quotes, and social graphics. They are designed for words that should feel written, remembered, saved, or shared.
