Looks Like It Was Made by a Human — Because It Was

A Hand-Drawn Font started as handwritten markings on tools and sketchbooks so they wouldn’t get lost. That everyday scrawl, from an undiscovered artist, was never planned to become a typeface. But while working on a personal zine project, he began converting those distinctive letters into a font — and over two years, they slowly evolved into this massive family. A Hand-Drawn Font carries all that history & personality, and now it’s expanded into eleven weights and jam-packed with features, it’s ready for whatever you want to throw at it.

A Cast of Characters (Literally)

The multiple versions of the basic alphabet are just the beginning. Dig deeper and you’ll find special alternates inspired by the handwritings of iconic artists — Calder, Kahlo, Basquiat, Grandma Moses and a bunch more. It’s part homage, part typographic mischief. Drop these alternates into your work for instant vibe and unexpected charm.

Structured but with Lots of Twists

Eleven weights: wispy hairline to extra bold, are there to give you subtle control of texture and color. The (mostly) monospaced skeleton gives structure, while the inconsistent spacing and hand-made quirks keep things lively and looking humanistic. It’s flexible but odd, tidy but unhinged — and surprisingly usable.

Clear. Loud. Weird.

From wild italics that slope AND rotate, to built-in wavy and zigzag underlines, A Hand-Drawn Font offers tools for expressive typography. You’re not just styling text — you’re giving it a voice. There are also hundreds of arrows, symbols, and emojis to help your designs shout, whisper, or mumble with style. This family doesn’t just support expression, it encourages it.

License FAQ

Desktop:

Commercial: This is for general use for most (offline) typesetting. The fonts may be used for just about any print application, including branding, logos, magazines, posters, etc.

Personal: This license is only for individuals who are using the fonts for their own private, non-commercial use. This generally means personal projects for school or home use with no direct or indirect connection to making money. This license is explicitly excluding any use on published materials, branding for business, or for anything with commercial intent.

Student: This discount is valid for current, full time students of any level. The student license remains valid even after graduation, and is allowed for commercial work, so you don’t need to worry about re-licensing later.

 

Web:

Our web fonts are distributed as WOFF, WOFF2, & EOT formats. They are licensed per domain and based on the traffic your website receives at the time of licensing. So, if you start out smaller then grow, there’s no need to update your license later. It’s also a one time fee so there are no annual or reoccurring costs.

< 100K pageviews/month: For websites with under 100,000 pageviews per month.

< 1M pageviews/month: For websites with 100,000 to 1 million pageviews per month.

< 10M pageviews/month: For websites with 1 to 10 million pageviews per month.

> 10M pageviews/month: For websites with more than 10 million pageviews per month.

 

Embedding:

App: This license is for embedding fonts into mobile or desktop applications. The license is valid on a per major version of your app. Meaning, the fonts are always allowed on smaller free updates to your app, but for more substantial paid updates an additional license must be purchased.

ePub: This license covers most digital publishing formats including EPUB, AZW, IBA, PDF, and others. The fonts are licensed on a per-title usage, but they may be used on any number of different file formats for the same title (meaning you can produce EPUB & PDF versions of the same title with the same license). Per-title means one specific book or one issue of a magazine, not a series. Additional titles can be purchased later for only a bit extra.

Additional explanations can be found on our FAQ page.
