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.

@ Allan & Louis
If I take a free of rights font and slightly change the design of just a few letters and then rename the font to a name of my choice, can I claim it to be MY font? Can I sell it for profits? Would it be legal? So many questions…
@ Louis
I suggest you ask Martin Wait: Did you start from scratch when you designed the Freestyle Font?
If we can get all the fonts in a single zip document that would be great, but thanks to upload these fonts for free :)
I feel handwritten fonts is difficult to use for design works. Maybe I need more inspirational thoughts.
Funky Stuff! Can’t get enough of FONTS!
thanx, I’m a font freak!!
Just because something is free doesn’t mean it’s good.
Seriously r/design, you guys let me down more and more every day.
