I am unfortunately really busy at the moment trying to sort out my life offline. Going to interviews and next week probably trial days. So I felt like I had pretty much zero time off this week. I am kind of still thinking about doing my own site – but I just don’t seem to get round to it.
I was just scooping around for some hand-drawn fonts to see if anything inspires me. I was actually looking for one particular font as well, that has been used on p47 of the December issue of Company. (The handdrawn one) Something similar (sans-serif though) is being used by Carphone Warehouse on their website as well as in print.
So here is a collection of some collections. You know, for collecting.
Fudge Graphics has already compiled some cool hand-drawn fonts. AND the first one in the list is exactly the one I was looking for.
Hongkiat.com has a short introduction providing information on when to use handwritten fonts – actually quite obvious but nevermind a reminder every so often.
Another list at naldsgraphics.net.
These lists seem to cover the most used hand drawn fonts. Please also check out dafont.com and urbanfonts.com. Their pages are easily searchable and categorised. I will look at a few more fonts later on, so maybe I’ll write a second post on this.
