Perhaps it’s a gig poster; perhaps it’s for an !!ENERGY DRINK!! company; perhaps it’s something completely different. As a designer, chances are you usually have a ton of work on your plate and can’t always hand-style lettering unique to each project. That’s where hand-drawn fonts come in.

Some are sketchy; some are based off of well-known fonts; all are great. Check out this list of 10 Awesome Free Hand-Drawn Fonts! If you like it, don’t forget to check out our list of the 10 Free & Amazing Display Fonts too.

Slightly grungy, but not so angry and unreadable like a lot of grunge fonts.

This strong typeface has a hint of blueprint styling to it. Dig it!

Half graffiti, half grunge, all terrible name. But don’t let that deter you – this font is killer.

CLEMENTINE SKETCH

A smooth, flowing outlined font. Like Arsenale White, it’d be great for children-focused designs.

HANDVETICA

Handvetica

Where would any font list be without at least an indirect reference to the most popular font ever? Here’s a hand-styled version of Helvetica.
