Abscissa

Abscissa font by Tepid Monkey Fonts is a free comic display typeface that trades clunky cartoon bubbles for something looser and smarter. Its letters lean and wobble just enough to feel handwritten, with dry-brush edges and slightly uneven strokes that add personality without sacrificing legibility. The result is a casual, offbeat texture that reads as human and energetic rather than goofy or chaotic.

Using Abscissa, you get that sketchbook, marker-on-paper vibe that works beautifully for zines, indie posters, webcomics, science or math explainers, classroom materials, and playful branding. This free font holds up surprisingly well at medium sizes, so it’s great for subheads and short blocks of copy. Pair Abscissa with a clean geometric sans for body text to keep your layouts fun but easy to read.
