Pitch, from Klim Type Foundry is Kris Sowersby’s love letter to the typewriter. The face is monospaced (something Wired doesn’t want to respect), but has quite a few distinctive characteristics that give it a wonderful amount of charm (notable are the angled brackets and ball terminals). It’s a fascinating typeface and Kris has a wonderful history of its creation on his blog.
Lickety Split is a simple, messy, but fun handwritten font by Tyler Finck. On its creation, Tyler writes:
Each character/accent/detail was created on a 3″ x 5″ index card with fat crayola crayons, scanned, tweaked, packed up and shipped out.
