By Steven Snell | August 27th, 2009 in Resources
The use of certain fonts is an easy way to give a design a hand-drawn effect. Fortunately, there are a number of fonts in this style that are freely available. In this post we’ll showcase 25 of the best. As always when you are dealing with freebies, be sure to check the usage restrictions from the designer.
To see examples of inspirational design using hand-drawn type, see TypeInspire’s hand-drawn tag.
