Hug Your Intern 1

Hug Your Intern 1 font by Tommy Cary is a free distorted outlined display typeface with letters that look like they’ve been doodled in thick marker and then gently melted. Each character wobbles with its own offbeat contour, creating a chunky, hollow texture that feels half graffiti, half notebook sketch. The black outer strokes hug the inner voids, giving your words a bold, cartoony edge that’s impossible to skim past.

Using Hug Your Intern 1, headlines instantly pick up a scruffy, indie energy that feels handmade and a little mischievous. This free font works beautifully for gig posters, zines, underground event flyers, comic titles, stickers, and playful social graphics. Keep it large and loud, then pair it with a plain sans serif for body text so the wild outlines stay readable and punchy.
