Handwriting fonts are so handy for bringing some spirit and authenticity to your projects. I stumbled upon the free version of a font called Summer—and it's become a fast favorite of mine. I used it mostrecently in this PPT download because I found it to be whimsical without being too cutesy or precious.
What are some of your favorite handwriting fonts (free or for purchase)? How do you use them in your projects?
As a fellow font hoarder, I'm so glad I saw Montse's Filmotype Brooklyn. It's a beautiful font that I'm sure will be my new favorite. Although not free, it was well worth the price.

Ooooo, that is a very cool stamp font, Tracy!
I like this font, David!
I've been having a lot of fun with these handwriting fonts. Is there a way these fonts can be incorporated into an upcoming E-Learning Challenge? ;)
Don't forget the iPad app iFontMaker! It packs some serious font maker tools for less than $10.
I made these first 2 which I use constantly, and my 3 year old made his own w/o my help last month.

I like Yummy Cupcake as a free font.
Not free, but one of my favorite script type handwritten fonts is Pony Tale Pro.
Hi Jeanne:
LOVE Architect's Daughter.
I am going to have to find a way to use that in a future project soon!
Drat you, e-learning Heroes!
Now I'm destined to waste away much of my morning browsing lovely fonts! :P
So let's open up the Pandora's Box, shall we? (no, not the FONT, just the non-scripted one)

I used Claire Hand in a course recently and it looks SO SHARP. I used it with the whiteboard background in the SL Image Library and it was a huge hit!

Also - glad to see so many other font nerds here. I feel like I've found my people. :D
That font looks beautiful, Krysti! Thanks for sharing the link.
