Modern Handwritten Fonts for Fresh Design Trends

Handwritten fonts are on-trend for 2018, to the point where their use has become somewhat overwhelming. We’re smack in the middle of a aesthetic age focused on simplification: the removal of skeuomorphs, the simple use of color and direct expressions of design ideas. Handwritten fonts might seem to contradict that notion, but in fact support it with a feeling of personal and authentic expression that appeals to the individuality and personality of consumers. This focus on direct, personal communication is the overall design trend of our modern corporate age, and these fonts support it. They speak best for small businesses with handmade (or seemingly handmade) products, or for larger brands focused on individual expression.

Pacifico

Novito Nova

Bestters Supply

Brayden Family

Uchiyama

This hand-drawn headlining font draws inspiration from mid-20th century matchbook covers. It includes a number of variations, which will automatically shuffle to provide the most natural look (provided your typesetting application understands OpenType variations).

Ether Cute Poison

Porter

Hipsta Script

Vantom! Script

BiteChalk

This handwritten font is great for chalk menu boards of similar designs. It includes a normal weight, along with bold, italic and slim faces, along with a few extra vectors thrown in.

Rallifornia Brush

This bold, aggressive font counters the traditional stereotypes of romantic script fonts, with a marker-style stroke design and hasty feel.

Crushine

Crushine is a handwritten font based on a casually written brush style. It has a less regular baseline and a slightly rushed edge, but it’s not as adventurous as some of the other options out there.

The Painter

Rising Star

Rising star is a handwritten font style monoline font capturing the nostalgic feeling of a lake-side summer camp.

Mystique

October Storm

This thick set watercolor-style handwritten font supports a bold headline and human-scale brand.

Lady Rose

Flirty Feminine Font

 

As a more traditional script font, this handwritten font communicates old-fashioned ideas of love, femininity and romance.

Endless Script

Emellie Script

BigMom

This fun duo of display fonts includes a script and sans face, which you can pair for a variety of attention-getting uses.

Matta

Snowdrop

Snowdrop is one of the very trendy handwritten fonts that seem to completely ignore the baseline. The letters connect to one another, but seem to have absolutely no shared baseline.

Heartbeat

Amsterdam

Georgia Script

Heritage

 

Another font duo, Heritage comes with Voster, a stylistically similar handwritten font that can be used either alongside Heritage or separately.

Catalina Avalon

Catalina Avalon actually includes three handwritten fonts: a contrasting weight typeface, a script font, and a body font that could be used for paragraph text.

Authenia

Moscato Script

 

Brixton Line

This simple and effective thinline handwritten font includes dozens of alternatives, with alternate handwritten glyphs for each letter.
