I'm reading the manga for Fate Stay Night, and there's a part on page 15 of
chapter 1 where the speech bubbles are handwritten and rather than in the
normal manga font. As you can see, this is only for speech, not for the other
text boxes, and is only on this page.

Other font styles (like bolded font) are used to indicate things like intense
speaking, but it's not clear if this is supposed to indicate something like
that. Is it? If not, why is just that dialogue handwritten?

fate-stay-night
Does handwritten speech indicate anything?


I read the VIZ translations and from what I can understand, the handwritten
speech denotes 'drowned-out' dialogues. During this time, the character,
Emiya, seems to be in an [internal
monologue](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InnerMonologue). This
is meant to tell the reader that _the focus or the important parts were not on
his 'drowned-out' (the handwritten ones) dialogues but rather on his internal
monologue_. [![enter image description

This is also seen in an anime where the character is thinking to
himself/herself. The scene around the character would have its volume lowered
down (but still hearable) _to give focus to what the character is thinking_.
