Flyswim is a typeface with grit under its nails and a drop shadow built right in. Its chunky, rounded letters wobble with a pencil-traced looseness, while the eroded edges and grainy texture give every word a handmade, printed-on-something-real feel. No sterile, over-polished grunge here—this is texture you can almost hear squeaking from a felt-tip marker.
With its uneven outlines and alternate letter pairs, Flyswim avoids the cut-and-paste look that plagues many hand-drawn fonts. You get natural variation without the tedious manual tweaking, making it fast to set and satisfying to use. That means instant, poster-ready text without firing up an extra effects layer. Flyswim shines anywhere you want playful dimension and a touch of disorder. Think youth-oriented branding, craft beer cans, indie video game splash screens, gig posters, activist zines, or event flyers that demand attention from across the street. Its built-in shadow gives your message depth even in flat color printing, while its casual swagger keeps it approachable.
And if your work crosses borders, Flyswim’s got you covered—it speaks a wide range of Latin-based languages without losing any of its rough-and-ready personality. Whether it’s shouting a headline or scrawling a label, Flyswim delivers texture, attitude, and a little bit of beautiful chaos in every line.
