The new Handwritten Font Pairing Guide is here 🥳
Handwritten fonts. They can be bold. Messy. Cute. Charming. Feminine. They’ve got personality. But pairing them? That’s a whole different can of worms. So… I've made something to help.
Want to know how to pair handwritten fonts?
The Handwritten Font Pairing Guide is a 52-page free resource packed with tips, tricks and inspiration to make pairing handwritten fonts a breeze. It’s not your average font pairing guide—it’s made specifically for those weird and wonderful handwriting styles we all love but aren’t always sure how to use well.
In this guide you'll find:
- Principles for pairing handwritten fonts (Visual hierarchy, Contrast, Balance, Context, Legibility)
- Unique handwritten font pairing inspiration (Chaotic, Editorial, Contemporary, Fun, Rustic)
- Resources & references
- And a typeheist.co discount code 🫶
For each pairing principle I've included actual examples using Typeheist fonts highlighting what works and why. You'll also find unique pairing inspiration for a number of different design styles to get that creativity flowing.
I hope this guide helps you wrangle those handwritten fonts for your brands and projects ☺️ You can read more and download it here.
Happy pairing,
Laura
