About Short Stack

Short Stack by James Grieshaber is a casual, humanist handwriting typeface with an informal, all-caps-influenced style that simulates careful block printing with a rounded pen or marker. Its even stroke weight and consistent rhythm distinguish it from chaotic display scripts, keeping it legible at small sizes while retaining a personal, approachable warmth. It works well for educational materials, children's apps, instructional diagrams, and informal web interfaces.
