About Prickly Pear Font Family


Here's a font with a special backstory. Prickly Pear is a handwritten font, created in a moving car, on the way to the Simpson Desert.

At the mercy of every bump, hump and hole in the road, this font is as rough and realistic as its conception. A unique and messy handwriting font reminiscent of the rugged landscape; it'll be perfect for that design project where you need a little raw authenticity.

Prickly Pear has a comprehensive character set of over 160 custom ligature combinations and 56 multi-lingual characters.

About TYPEHEIST

With a distinctive style and a focus on handwritten fonts that you won’t find just anywhere, TYPEHEIST is inspired by realism, individuality and curiosity. Formed by Laura Eddy, a designer from Australia, Typeheist began as a happy accident and was pursued with a passion. Experimenting with her own handwriting, ‘Lore’ was forged and became the first font. Laura was hooked on font-making and soon after, Lore’s uniqueness peaked interest giving way to new fonts. The popular ‘Manic’ font (a wild and erratic handwritten scrawl) is the star of the font folio. Its crazed demeanour and quirky charm saw it become almost instantly popular and find a home as Laura’s favourite font. Each font is hand-drawn with its own personality and multiple glyphs and ligatures, so every instance is personalised.
