20 Free Handwritten Fonts And Resources
Since human existence, communication always is playing very important role in our life using drawings, word of mouth, eye signals etc. To make communication easier and to save information, human invented symbols to describe things they see, speak or just use. Now in our days, for example, we don’t write actual letters, we just send an email, which is really impersonal if we compare those two things. Now people tend to use handwritten fonts, sketched graphics to give their design more personal touch, in the sake of old days. Handwritten font can really say something special personalizing communications with Your visitors. Actually there are a huge amount of great fonts out there, we never heard of. I wanted to dig a little deeper and so I created my own selection with some very special handwritten fonts and also great font resources, You probably never heard of!

Nice one Adelle, great collection. I love handwritten fonts, they can give a great personal feel to almost anything, and used well can really make a difference to your design. Great stuff.
One I really like is called “Hand of Sean” and can be downloaded here, http://www.dafont.com/hand-of-sean.font
A worthy addition I’d say. Thanks.

WHOA free fonts always interest me and the rest of the guys n gals at the
web design studio I work at. when we need a breeak we love to just play around with fonts and make random garbage. but these will be fun to play with. Thanks a lot!
Love these fonts. I wish that CSS provided more flexibility with the fonts so far most of my designs are stuck using these standard fonts
Boring!
