10 Amazing Handwritten Fonts

Monday, November 12, 2012

Stonepath

I like the neat, yet rushed feel that Stonepath has. The lines of each letter are smooth, yet not perfect, and a few of the letters aren’t fully closed or have lines that are perfectly touching each other. It gives it a sloppy but legible feel that could be used on a wide variety of projects. Stonepath also comes with all uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and quite a few special characters as well.

Swagger

Swagger definitely has some swagger to it. This handwritten font is not only free, but comes in regular, bold, and light versions! Whether you’re looking to spruce up your website with some custom typography or designing an eye-catching print campaign, Swagger will help you achieve the desired look you’re going for.

Architect’s Daughter

This neat and tidy handwritten font is another that can help you spruce up your design project. The perfectly crafted lines and smooth curves make this font look expertly calculated, and perfectly executed. Architect’s Daughter comes with a gaggle of special characters, proving my point of how expertly thought out this font is.

In The Know

In The Know is a font that reminds me of the typography on promotional signs that you may see in the storefronts of places like American Eagle, or Abercrombie and Fitch. It has a tall, lanky style to it and could work nicely as header text on a website or storefront signage. One thing In The Know isn’t, well, in the know about are special characters. If you’re looking for a fun handwritten font like this for numbers or punctuation, your search will have to continue elsewhere.

Sweetly Broken

Sweetly Broken is a fun font that’s almost a mix between calligraphy and something that you’d see a person write by hand. The amount of detail put in to some of the uppercase letters makes me think anyone who writes like this by hand is an artist, or has entirely too much time on their hands. It’s a graceful font, free, and jam packed with special characters.

HT Shortie

If you’re looking for a font hat looks as though it were written by a child, then look no further. HT Shortie is a great handwritten font that reminds me of reading the handwriting of a child in primary school, only a little neater and more controlled. HT Shortie comes complete with all uppercase and lowercase letters, all the numbers, and most major punctuation marks.

Set Fire to the Rain

Like the big success Adele had for her smash hit with the same name, thanks to her bold voice, this big and bold handwritten font would work nicely as a header font. There is also a round and curvy playfulness to each letter, much like the Grammy winning singer. Set Fire to the Rain has a plethora of special characters, as well as all of the numbers.

Annie Use Your Telescope

Annie Use Your Telescope is a font that makes me wonder where people come up with names for things, but it is a nice handwritten font. I think this would be a perfect font if you’re designing a website or print campaign targeted at tweeners. The round edges, and tall lowercase letters give it a fun feel, while its array of special characters and numbers make it a practical choice for any designer.

Adam Handwriting

Adam Handwriting is another fun font that reminds me of something a younger child would write. It’s got that hint of cursive lettering to it, along with imperfect crossing and re-tracing lines. This font has all of the uppercase and lowercase letters, all numbers, and most of the common special characters and punctuation marks. And for free, it’s a steal of a deal!

Rose DiFont

Rose DiFont is another free font that has infinite uses. The lines are neatly crafted, as to not give it a childish or adolescent look. It’s a handwritten font that possesses an almost sophisticated feel to it. Rose DiFont comes with all letters, numbers, and all but a few of the most common special characters and punctuation marks.
