11 Fun & Easy Fonts For Hand Lettering
You don’t need to be a master artist or have a deep dedication to art to dive into this creative pool. I’ve crafted a collection that’s not fun to use but also easy to replicate. Each font comes with a complete alphabet, so you can effortlessly piece together any word or phrase your heart desires.
These fonts are designed with accessibility in mind, meaning you can start experimenting right away, no advanced skills required. Begin by choosing one or two fonts that catch your eye, and play around with them in your journal.
Consider using them for headers, quotes, or even just a fun doodle page. The key is to let go of perfection and embrace the joy of trying something new.
For those just starting out, here’s a tip: use a pencil to sketch out your letters first. This allows you to adjust and perfect your layout without the pressure of committing to ink immediately.
Once you’re happy with the design, trace over it with your favorite pen. Even the most straightforward fonts can add an element of charm and personality to your journal, making your pages both practical and delightful.
So let’s dive in and let me share with you a few of the font ideas.
Offset Font
Starting with my favorite font – an offset font. It’s a pretty easy one to create, and the best part is that it’s made to be messy.
Simply write the letters, and then use colorful markers to write them again but offset them s lightly. It doesn’t have to be perfect even, and that is what creates a more fun and messy approach.
90s Font
I absolutely love this font, especially because the colors I gathered here are a fantastic match.
The key to this font is pretty easy – draw letters in lowercase font and keep all the holes filled with color.
Brush Lettering Effect Font
I adore this font because it looks so elaborate and artistic, while in reality, it is super easy to create.
First, you write, take a darker pen and write your letters. Then, take a lighter brush pen and create a shadow effect for each letter, making sure you keep the shadow on the same side for every letter.
And there you go, it almost looks like it’s brush lettering!
Incomplete Font
This font is pretty easy, but I think the fact that some lines are not necessarily connected makes it stand out.
The idea is pretty easy: you create half-block serif letters and simply don’t connect one of the lines.
Billboard Font
I call this font billboard because it just makes me think of those old-style billboards from the 50s.
It might take a bit longer to create this one, considering it has so many elements, like the dots inside and the shadow lines, but it’s pretty simple if you divide it into smaller elements.
Modern Font
I think this font has more of a modernist look rather than a modern one, but you can call it anything you want!
It just adds a few extra lines for all the letters, but I like the look and the versatility you can get by just using different colors.
Double Shadow Font
This font is your basic capital letters but with a slight twist!
Use a color for your letters and then black and grey markers to add a double shadow to each letter. I think it really helps to make the letter pop from the page!
Floral Font
A pretty easy way to spice up your font is to add some kind of doodles to it, and flowers sound like a perfect idea!
And as you can see, I even added a few different variations of how you can decorate your letters with flowers, including the idea of filling out the entire letter just with floral doodles.
Stitch Font
I don’t know about you, but this font really looks like a Halloween one. It just needs a little bit of green. Maybe, it’s because each letter looks like it’s stitched, kind of like Frankenstein’s monster.
There is also a slightly grey shade on each letter, which I think makes the black of the letters look a bit darker.
Bubble Font
This is a pretty fun font to play with; it’s basically block letters but made a bit more bubble and round all over.
Since these are pretty large letters, I love the idea of customizing them inside with different colors and such.
Square Font
Last but not least is this fun font that you can play around with. The whole idea is to use a square for each letter so they are all the same in shape.
As you can see, there are so many ways to customize it, from using different colors to adding shades, and each looks so different!
And there you go, here are just 11 different ideas yoiu can play around with to create some fun and unique hand lettering pieces.
