Keep it Fun with Doodles and Funky Hand-drawn Fonts

The line between handwriting and hand-drawn fonts can be a little fuzzy. But that makes it fun too. While some doodled, sketched, and curly fonts may not be strictly classified as script or handwriting fonts they can serve the same purpose - giving documents an elegant, casual, or personal touch. In the sidebar, the not-really-a-script-font's whimsical curls remind me of the curls and swishes that young girls (and big girls too) might add to letters. It has an upbeat feel that matches the 'modern' style of the graphic. Try fonts that look like hand-drawn block letters or printed letters with doodles such as dots and stars for graphic headlines, initial caps, or in a newsletter nameplate. Use them to lend a quirky, modern, and young look to a piece.

Try some of these quirky almost-but-not-quite handwriting fonts:

• Angelica - crooked serif with curls
• Caffe Latte - shakey curls
• Hathor - doodles with teeth
• Sketchy - neatly sketched
• Starry Night - semi-neat printing with star doodles
