My Favorite Handwritten Fonts

December 2, 2011 by Patricia

handwritten fonts are really cute, but it’s not easy to find good-quality ones. i personally look for clean lines and legibility, because after all, what’s the point of using a font if no one can read it? =)

i recently purchased this pretty script that has a handwritten look.  it’s called melany lane, a new font released just 17 days ago, can you imagine? =)  i love the flourishes and swashes, but most of all, the fact that it still has a warm handwritten look to it. i can’t wait to use it on a project!

melany lane script

here are my other top picks for handwritten fonts:

bitch cakes font
chestnut font
league script
coming soon font
dreamed about you font
english essay font
Jenna Sue font
Halo Handletter font

for more handwritten fonts, check out this this wonderful site that offers free downloads of hundreds of handwritten fonts. it’s called fonts for peas.

Hard truths by creative business strategist @melis Hard truths by creative business strategist @melissagalt 
Positioning is a decision.
You don’t wait to be selected by whoever inquires. You choose.
Choose who you want to work with, what you want to be known for, and how you want your business to be perceived.
That’s positioning.
A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identit A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identity for a psychology-informed company that is centered on people. 
The custom monogram forms the letters H and A, but if you look at it long enough, you'll notice the curves of the letter A forms a letter L - which stands for Lisa, the founder's name. 
We wanted the brand to look and feel premium but welcoming, as befits her years of experience and level of expertise.
The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: n The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: not serifs broadly, but a specific vintage register, letterforms with visible weight variation, a slightly worn edge, the sense that someone drew them by hand. 
The Ashcombe Hall has the gravity of a country house library, the kind of face you'd expect stamped in gold on a leather spine. Vintage Serenade moves looser, more lyrical, closer to something a calligrapher would have signed.
Design has swung this way before. When the Industrial Revolution made everything fast and identical, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement answered with ornament, with craft, with the visible mark of the maker. The clean grid had its long turn at the wheel. This particular kind of type, textured, hand-cut, carrying a sense of history in the strokes, is having its own.
The antiques returning to people's living rooms and this type returning to branding are doing the same work. Both are reminding us a skilled hand was involved.
The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love. I read it as a flower that simply knows when to leave the party.
