Identify Recife’s own-lettering source
Eduardo Recife’s Misprinted Type account describes HandMade as based on his lettering, influenced by vernacular hand-painted signs from Brazil and ornamental type. This is a specific creator’s design account, not a claim that every Brazilian sign shares one alphabet or that all handmade fonts look alike.
Use two capital variations to control repetition
The publisher documents two uppercase variations for mixing repeated characters. Set LETTERS FROM THE STREET and compare a repeated E with its alternate while holding the surrounding layout constant. Decide whether the variation helps the line before substituting every available letter. Keep a plain version beside it so the alternates remain an intentional selection rather than an unexplained change during handoff.
Keep the EPS ornaments separate from typed text
The account describes a separate set of sixteen hand-drawn vector ornaments in EPS format. If using that accompanying artwork, record it as an additional asset rather than assuming it is an alphabet glyph. Permanent Marker and Bitter are independent previews here. The homepage’s portable Unicode lettering offers copyable character substitutions; it cannot carry HandMade’s capital variants or the separate EPS ornament artwork into another app.
The font-designer guide explains how to keep creator, source lettering and separately supplied assets explicit in a project record.
Your questions, answered.
Who created this HandMade?
Eduardo Recife created the Misprinted Type design based on his own lettering.
Are the accompanying ornaments necessarily font characters?
The publisher describes a separate EPS vector set. Treat it as separate artwork unless the actual supplied files establish otherwise.
