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.

Thank you for this awesome post! I LOVE one of these fonts buy my only question is how do I use that font on my wordpress blog? I went to the link you had on here that took me to the page and I downloaded it but I don’t know how to change the font style for my entire wordpress blog. Does anyone here know how to do this?
great posting I will tell my friend

Hey, thanks for putting this together. I love using handwritten fonts in my designs and on my website.
wonderful collection of fonts. Keep up with good work.
Wonderful !! Thanks.
Very nice collection. Thank you :)
thanks for the list!
but i would say that »creampuff« is really a handwritten font…
thx for great helpful fonts.
Great Fonts. I want’em all. You wouldn’t happen to have these all on a zip file would you?
I also prefer a zip file with all the fonts together…
Great! It would be nice if @font-face was a little more accurate with its renderings so we could use these more practically. It’s a great font list though, thanks for sharing.
Congrats Lazy Boy you just lived up to your name.
Great list of fonts! As you stated, I think too many people have forgotton the beauty and creativity you can achieve from featuring handwritten style fonts on websites.
lol @ paul
It’s a great collection…
Hey, Nick. Good collection. Just wanted to point out that “Freestyle Script” is not free. It belongs to Martin Wait: http://www.martinwait.co.uk/
It shouldn’t be offered for free download on that website, as far as I understand. It’s actually the font I use for my logo, and I had talked to Martin about using it because it came with software that I had purchased, so I was able to use it commercially.
Several of the fonts should not be offered for free. They are from type designers who earn their living by licensing the designs. Among them are Bradley Hand, Freestyle Script and One Stroke Script. If you use them, you are basically stealing from type designers.
