Gragsie by Vincent Connare of Microsoft Corp. is a free handwritten display font modeled on quick marker lettering. Broad, uneven strokes change width across rounded forms set at different angles. Small irregularities keep the writing loose and plainly hand drawn.
A cafe menu makes a natural starting point. The same informal line suits food packaging, children's posters, and casual event graphics. Because the curves resemble marker doodles, they can merge with simple ingredient sketches or playful illustrations.
Trebuchet, designed by Vincent Connare in 1996, is a humanist sans serif designed for easy screen readability. Trebuchet takes its inspiration from the sans serifs of the 1930s which had large x heights and round features intended to promote readability on signs. The typeface name is credited to a puzzle heard at Microsoft, where the question was asked, "could you build a Trebuchet (a form of medieval catapult) to launch a person from the main campus to the consumer campus, and how?" The Trebuchet fonts are intended to be the vehicle that fires your messages across the Internet. "Launch your message with a Trebuchet page".
