People mostly use either serif or sans-serif fonts and often miss out the handwritten fonts. They are as important as the main font classifications. I particularly like to use handwritten fonts to highlight significant items in screen captures. They add the personal touch in my design and also provide great typographic contrast. However, not all handwritten fonts are legible. I've put together a huge list of free handwritten and script fonts that work well.

I was looking for some font like this. I just saw a link on twitter that directed me to this page. Thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I’ve had so much trouble finding good handwritten fonts. I’ll be downloading about half of these!
Looks like a nice collection :)
Thank you for such a comprehensive list. The handwritten fonts are always difficult to find because they get mixed between the list of serif and sans serif fonts. This has become my new go to page for handwritten fonts. Thanks!
Thanks so much. There’s some great fonts I hadn’t found here!
Wish I had this yesterday when I was making an image of a cardboard sign with handwriting on it.
Now I’m set for next time.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the nice list. About half of these are new to me. Thanks also for putting the line of symbols at the bottom of each sample. That helps! Thanks.
Always a fan of the freebies. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to put together the list and the preview of the fonts as well.
Those are all very decorative fonts that would be great for a personal site or blog showcasing someones information.
Nice selection! Some of these will come in handy!
Cheers :D
Hey great list, thx! I wonder if all of them are really “Free”? For example the first one “akaDora”, it’s copyright protected no? I never used one, and never had to make up my mind about that, so you might know better, let me know what you think. :)
Thank you for the really useful list, i love to use them for previews..
Cheers :)
