Anyone have suggestions for masculine looking handwritten fonts? I really need some of those.

Thanks for the great fonts! My current fav is Pea Amy–could that be because my daughter’s name is Amy or just because it’s a super cute font?

I had Darcy Baldwin make my handwriting into a font for Mother’s Day last year, and I love it! It’s still my go-to journaling font. I just sent off my scan to have her do my cursive writing, too.

Some of my other faves are DJB Gimme Space, Love Letter Typewriter, Elephants in Cherry Trees, SP Coffee Break, and Heather Roselli’s stamped alpha/font.

I just recently found your site. I’m fairly new to digital scrapbooking and I have learned so much the last few days just reading your past blog/articles. Thank you so much for everything you are doing to help us, the ones that want to understand so bad, but didn’t major in graphics design in college! I am a nurse and really enjoy digital scrapbooking ( or maybe I should say “collecting” because that seems to be all I’m dpoing right now, buying kits!)Thanks again! And I loved my Daily Digi 17! also loved all the pea fonts!!

I have noticed that some digi designers include European characters in their alphas, but I haven’t seen a lot of them in fonts either.

Darcy’s Gimme Space is one of Steph’s favorite fonts too – I forgot to include it in this post. So glad you brought it up!

I love DJB Gimme Space lately- it’s like the Century Gothic of handwriting fonts I use several of Darcy’s handwriting ones. And Typewriter Scribbled is a stand-by favorite too. Thanks for the great links!

I love handwritten fonts, but I hate that they don’t often have european characters, as my mother tongue is French. So this has become a real issue for me. I love to use Bradley Hand ITC and lately I’ve been using DJB Sweet Robin. I have also been known to use Joyful Juliana and Sophie Regular.
I don’t mind using different fonts but if I am making an album I will use the same font or fonts throughout (ex. 1 for journaling and 1 for titles). Like someone else said I had a font made of my handwriting but I don’t really like it. I do think it is cool to have my own font though and I will use it occasionnally. I love the free software The Font Thing to manage my fonts, as it allows me to write what I want on my page and see how it would look in the fonts that I have. I know a lot of people also use ACDSee to manage their fonts.
