Poor Story

Poor Story is a Korean display typeface with a hand-drawn, casual character that feels like writing done quickly with a brush or marker. The letterforms are irregular and slightly uneven, giving them an approachable, human quality rather than a polished or corporate look. It has a playful energy without being childish, sitting somewhere between informal and expressive. The strokes have personality and movement, making it stand out clearly when used at larger sizes. It works primarily for Korean text but carries a visual style that communicates informality and creative energy.

This font is a natural fit for youth-oriented branding, particularly for food and beverage brands, streetwear labels, or lifestyle products that want to signal authenticity and a handcrafted sensibility. It works well for event posters, particularly for music festivals, art shows, or pop-up markets where a loose, energetic aesthetic is appropriate. In digital contexts, it suits landing page headlines or social media graphics for brands targeting younger audiences who respond to less formal visual communication. Its strong personality means it should be used sparingly, reserved for short headlines and display text rather than body copy.
