By the way Font

By the way is a rugged display script with chunky strokes, uneven curves, and slightly irregular spacing that gives every word a quick marker-note attitude. The letters feel informal and a bit messy on purpose, so text looks more like something scrawled in a notebook than set by a typesetter. It works well when you keep copy short: album titles, zine covers, band logos, or bold overlays on gritty photography where you need raw, human energy more than polish. For long paragraphs, UI labels, or anything that demands quiet readability, its busy shapes and texture can become tiring, so it is better used as an accent voice rather than your only typeface.

Best For:
music poster headlines and album art
streetwear or band logo wordmarks
grunge-style social media graphics and thumbnails

Not Ideal For:
long editorial text or dense body copy
formal corporate branding or reports
small UI labels or accessibility-focused interfaces
