My 20 Favorite Free Handwriting Fonts




I'm in the "in-between" stage of all the Back-To-School excitement: beyond the age of school/college myself, and no kids yet that I get send off into that crazy jungle that is our educational system.  However, I've been seeing and hearing all kinds of things that indicate it's the back-to-school time of year.  And even though I'm not using them for school, I've definitely taken advantage of a few of the back-to-school deals at staples for some office supplies for myself!


In honor of this glorious time of year (which I say in sarcasm because I pretty much hated school - not the act of learning so much as the institutionalization of it), I decided to put together a list of some amazing handwriting fonts!  Who doesn't love a good handwriting font??  I use them for all sorts of projects: card-making, signage, scrapbooking, and many other crafting projects around my house!  I really like to make lists of my favorite fonts because I have literally thousands of them on my computer and unless I can remember their names (and of course there are way too many that I like to remember all of them), I often spend way too much time searching through the alphabetized list to find the perfect one for a project.  I thought I'd share some of my preferred handwriting fonts on my website, so that they'd be easy for you to find, too! And maybe you'll discover some new favorites to download - perfect for school-time or any occasion!  And best yet, they are all FREE, so go crazy!







And yes, school taught me well… I'm including my references! ;)  Here's where you can get these awesome fonts:


17. KG Call Me Maybe - Skinny
18. Always forever
19. BD Paris
20. Dead Hardy

Here are a few print-out projects that I've made using some of these fonts! :)



 This is a quote that I love from JK Rowling.  I used Dead Hardy and eight fifteen fonts.

This 2 Timothy 1:7 verse uses KG Call Me Maybe - Skinny and Haiku's Script v.08.

 For the proverbs 31:25 verse, I used Calligriffiti and Dead Hardy again.

My Top 20 Favorite Script Fonts




I threw together a compilation of my favorite script style fonts the other day because I use them on a lot of my Silhouette and crafting projects, and I wanted an easy way to remember which ones I love without having to go searching through the thousand or so that I have on my computer every time I need one. It's so addicting to add new beautiful fonts to your collection, but the downside is, the more you have, the harder it is to find the ones you love the most.  Since they are organized alphabetically on the computer, if you can't remember the name, you might be looking for a while!

I'm finding my little cheat sheet so handy, that I thought I'd put it up on my blog along with links to download these FREE fonts! If you're like me, you'll go download a few to add to your monster collection now, knowing that one day, one of these fonts will be The Perfect One for some or another project you're working on! And if you really want you can pin the pretty picture so that you can remember what they were later! :)

Just in case you've never downloaded a font before and you want to put one of these on your computer, you just need to click on the link of the font you want and once it loads the website, click the 'download' button.  A box will pop up, select the 'open' option and click 'okay'.  A folder will open, probably with a few objects in it.  You want the one that ends in either .ttf or .oft.  If both file types are in there, just pick one, it doesn't really matter which.  Double click on that and it will open the font.  At the top toward the left there is an 'install' button.  Click that and it should tell you your font is being installed.  If this doesn't work, or if you have a mac, you can click here for different instructions or do a Google search for downloading and installing fonts on your specific computer system.

I think that the font style of something can really make or break a project and sometimes I spend hours (yeah, seriously) trying to find the perfect font.  I'm a perfectionist.  But it's always worth it when I create something new that I love.  Here are a few of the projects where I've used some of the fonts listed above (you probably have seen some of them before!!)

"Welcome To Our Nest" Vinyl Decal using Janda Stylish Script (because look how whimsical is it!):



"For Better or Worse" Vinyl Decal using Janda As Long As You Love Me for the script-style part:


Birthday Card for my Hubby using the fonts Janda Celebration Script and KG Eyes Wide Open:



My Laundry Room Jars using a slightly modified version of odstemplik (I had to buff it up a little on the thin sections so that the vinyl would cut without tearing):




Hope you find a new font you love!
