scrawler
Illegible handwriting maker
A scrawler is someone who scrawls—writes hastily, carelessly, or illegibly.
The word carries a dismissive tone, suggesting the person's writing lacks skill or care: The graffiti scrawler left his mark on every wall in the alley.
It can also describe a writer whose work is considered careless or amateurish.
