Gonzo the Great » Thanks for those recommendations. I’m in no need of a commercial font right now as I personally do very little graphic development myself but I’ll keep them in mind if I do need something like that.

Hi Nick,

great selection of free hand-sketched fonts. As always with free fonts it’s always missing some character, style or symbol and some have really issues problems like the kerning. Therefore not always of good use in your graphic design work!

I love the Sketch-book type and if you’re willing to use this font on a ‘commercial basis’, best buy this: http://tinyurl.com/cluugh (light and bold version)

And yes, check out the charactermap, almost all are there: http://tinyurl.com/ydaqv5g

And best part of it all: Both fonts cost you just $30! And no, I’m not working at this particular foundry/fontshop, hihi!

Thanks again for the post, Cheers & Ciao …

Lauren –> Thanks for letting us know about your fonts. I checked them out last night and they actually are very cool. And even though you think that your newest one is cutesy, as you said, I think that it looks very professional and I plan on using it for some graphics probably around Valentines day. I think it looks great.

Nice sketchy fonts. Lindsay is right, free fonts can be very useful in serious web designs and this is particularly true regarding those of the hand-drawn variety.

I make fonts so I know that it is true. Making quality traditional serif or sans serif fonts requires attention to EVERY detail and aspect of each character, while making a good hand-drawn font does (or should) require attention to detail, much of what needs to be considered when makign tradiotnal fonts does not apply.

BTW ::aghem:: I know of another amazing sketchy font not on this list. Just so happens to be my LT Chickenhawk font. You can find it on my blog or dafont http://www.dafont.com/lauren-thompson.d1997

Love fonts, really nice of you to share them with your readers.

As I said, people that ain´t into typography won´t get it. But my English is not good enough to explain fonts in proper but simple terms.
