What Are Handwriting Fonts

Simply put, handwriting fonts are fonts that look like they are written by hand, not typed out.

Though they can be neat, they are not rigid. I’d say handwritten fonts are created to look more natural than those that are considered to have the perfect lines and strokes.

Anyway, you are in for a feast of handwriting fonts here, so let’s get down to it.

How to Use Handwritten Fonts

As you can tell, there are so many handwritten font choices you can get from Canva. How you select depends on what you are using it for.

This is not a design tutorial that teaches you how to use typography, but I can give you a brief set of tips to get started.

Here’s what to bear in mind when using handwriting fonts:

1. Use them for headers or titles and signatures
2. Don’t use them on body text unless you want to design a letter
3. Use those that are clear and legible
4. Refrain from pairing with other handwritten fonts
5. If you want to capitalize all letters, only use those fonts that include that
