The Missus Hand Oblique Font

The Missus Hand Oblique is a free Celtic Gothic font with an uneven, hand-cut silhouette and a pronounced rightward lean. Tall, narrow capitals mix sharp wedges with softly bowed strokes. Irregular edges give the lettering a lively, unpolished finish.

Publishing is a particularly good setting for its manuscript-like shapes, especially on folklore book covers and historical magazine features. It also suits festival posters and folk-music merchandise, where the tapered strokes and rough contours can echo carved ornament and Celtic-inspired illustration.
