Muggsy Sketch (Single Line) Font: A Quirky Handwriting Font for Creative Projects

A lot of single-line and hairline fonts are on the more formal side. However, I decided to take one of my favorite quirky handwriting fonts, MUGGSY, and convert it to single-line format. This new version has all the same features, but in a format built for sketch pens, foil quill, engraving, infusible ink pens, and more!

Features of Muggsy Sketch (Single Line) Font

• Two uppercase-height alphabets (with a few lowercase-style letters like a and e in the lowercase set)
• Full set of 63 “smallternates” — the same letters, numbers, and ampersand sized down, for variety
• 30 double-letter ligature sets
• Additional alternates and punctuation
• Over 600 glyphs, including 300+ extended Latin characters for language support

Technical Details

Even though these are TTF files, all of the alternates are OpenType coded and PUA-encoded, for easy access in a ton of programs. You can even use these fonts in vector programs like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, and more! Just apply a stroke and not a fill, and you can make the font as heavy or light as you like, then expand the text to outlines!

What are Single-Line and Hairline Fonts?

Single-line and hairline fonts aren’t your ordinary fonts; they can’t be used for word processing, printing, or cutting. They’re meant for a sketch pen, foil quill, engraving tool, infusible ink pen, or any other stylus or nib that draws letters with a single line instead of an outline.

Font Formats and Compatibility

This font comes in both a single-line version and a hairline version; different software programs will use different formats. Not sure which format you need? You can download and install both! These fonts have been tested in:

• Cricut Design Space
• Silhouette Studio Designer Edition
• Adobe Illustrator CC
• Inkscape
• CorelDRAW
• Affinity Designer
• Rhinoceros 6

Due to known issues with Brother Canvas Workspace, I cannot guarantee that any single-line fonts will work within that program.

Important Notes

Please ensure you’re familiar with single-line and hairline fonts before purchasing. And be sure to download the two PDF files; one is a guide to help with which font to select, and the other puts all of the 200+ alternates, ligatures, and extras at your fingertips!

Also, note: these fonts are going to look really, really weird in the font previewer. That’s totally OK! 🙂
