Easy Fonts To Draw In Your Bullet Journal
Bullet Journal lettering is a creative way to personalize your pages, and finding easy fonts to draw can make the process both fun and stress-free.
Whether you’re a seasoned journaler or just starting out, having a collection of simple, stylish fonts at your fingertips can elevate your layouts without requiring advanced artistic skills.
These fonts are perfect for headers, trackers, and everything in between. In this post, we’ll explore a variety of beginner-friendly styles that are quick to learn and versatile enough to suit any theme.
Fonts are an easy way to make some elements of your layout stand out, but they are also perfect for creating a cohesive layout.
Actually, if you just use the same font for your headers the entire month, it is already enough for a complete monthly theme. AT least that is how I see it.
I always try to use the same fonts for the entire month, it helps make pages fun and creative, while also keeping it simple for me – I don’t need to find a new font every time I create a layout. Plus, it keeps all the pages similar.
The best thing I love about fonts is that they are all pretty simple, and you don’t need any lettering skills. Most of these fonts are about drawing letters rather than writing, so even if you have a shaky hand and your handwriting looks like chicken scratch (guilty!), you still can easily create beautiful fonts.
The only thing I definitely want you to pay a little extra attention to is spelling. When you draw your letters instead of writing them, you don’t always realize if you skip a letter or draw a wrong one.
This is something that often happens to me unless I pay a lot of extra attention, so in case this is something that would bother you (it doesn’t really matter for me anymore, I learned to accept it) I’m warning you to be careful with that.

Stationery Recommendations
There are so many supplies to choose from, and I’m sure you want to pick the ones you’ll love using the most.
So here are a few of my favorites, especially for creating different fonts:
- Sakura Pigma Micron – these are some of the best fineliners, perfect for creating all types of elements in your Bullet Journal. Their black archival ink will make all your headers look sharp.
- Tombow Fude Brush Pens – my favorite small tip brush pens will allow you to create the most intricate headers, especially with smaller elements. Plus, of course, you can use them for brush lettering.
- Crayola Super Tips – these are some of the best markers out there, since they come in so many colors and are pretty affordable.
- Tombow Dual Brush Pens -if you’re looking for something extra, these brush pens are it! They have tons of colors and double tips, so you can use a brush tip for lettering and a marker tip for adding smaller elements.
Now, with supplies ready, let’s get into some fun fonts!
Easy Fonts To Draw
These are some fonts that I created, and to make it very clear, I made a full alphabet for every font idea.
The good thing about those is that you can customize them to your desire. Use different colors and different pens, and you’ll get a completely different look.
You can absolutely change things up and create a font and style that fits your aesthetics the best.
Let’s dive in!
Rounded Font With Shadow
Thus is hands down my favorite font, and it’s very easy to create. You create little block letters with rounded corners, and then add a slight offset to them.
I always add an offset on the right and bottom part of all letters, and then just add extra lines inside the offset part.
Incomplete Font
This is a fun font to play with, and if you decode to use a thinner pen, it will have a completely different effect.
There is no real explanation here; you just write a letter and then play around to add an incomplete part whenever you feel like it looks best.
90’s Font
This font somehow reminds me of the 90’s, the bright colors and the playful atmosphere of those days.
The idea here is pretty simple – make your letters thicker and fill out the holes in any letters that require them.
Small Lines Easy Font
This font took very little time to create, and yet I think it looks pretty cute. Try using pink or orange, and it will have a completely different effect!
It’s easy – use your pen to draw the letter and then use the same pen to add other lines, but make sure that they have a meeting point. If this explanation was not very clear, you’ll get a much better idea if you just look at the image.
Brush Lettering Font
This kind of looks like brush lettering to me, but it actually isn’t. And even though I did use brush pens for it, you don’t even have to have those; any markers would work.
The key is to get two pens with similar colors, one darker and one lighter. Use the darker one to write letters in cursive, and then use the lighter color to add shade to the letters. As i always I added it to the right and bottom on the letter.
Floral Font
A simple idea to embellish any font you like is to add little elements to it, like florals in this case. And you can use any type of font you like as a base font.
Draw the letter in pencil, then add the decorations, and then use the pen to finalise the design.
Another fun idea is to use little doodles to create letters from them, like you see here, I created letters from floral doodles. It’s also pretty simple – use a pencil to outline the letter, then fill it out with doodles, and finally erase the letter outline.
Shadow Font
The shadow font, I think, always looks interesting and very unusual. But in fact, this is a very easy effect to achieve.
All you need is to use a pencil to draw your letter, and then a thick marker to add shadow around it. Once the shadow is there, you can erase the pencil, and you’ll get very clear letter shapes.
Bright Colorful Font
Very simple and yet playful font, and because these letters are smaller in size, you can use them for smaller headers as well.
It’s easy – it’s basically a thin block letters font. To make it a bit extra, I added an offset outline, but it really is up to you to see if you want to do it or not. I think this font looks good either way.
Offset Font
This font was born out of the shakiness of my hands, because I am pretty bad when it comes to coloring inside the lines. And in the end, I think it’s a fun little effect.
Basically, create block letters with a black pen and then draw the same letters in color, but a bit offset. It looks a bit different every time you do it, and the letters are probably not very even, but I think this is where the charm of this font is.
