So many new font designers are coming up with the most stylish handlettered fonts! I rounded up my favorites to share with you. These would be perfect for use in brand identities, social media graphics, and ads.
Which one is your favorite?
These fonts are great if you’re going for a whole range of moods: stylish & artistic, casual & welcoming, natural & authentic, polished & informal, charming & friendly. They will not work if you want something fancy and formal, of course. (Check out my list of the best calligraphic script fonts )
Pro Tip 1: do not use these in body text where the font sizes have to be small; they will only work for headings, in large sizes, or as highlights.
Pro Tip 2: because these have a more informal look, pair them with a sans-serif font for best results. Like Sweet Sans, Lato, Coco Gothic, or Montserrat.
