10 of the best free fonts on the web

AD| Hey gang, I’m actually so excited to be able to share this collaboration with Font Bundle with you. Font Bundle have a huge selection (and I mean huge, there are thousands!) of fonts on their website that you can download and use in your designs.

As a blogger, artist and soon-to-be business owner, I’m always looking out for new fonts that I can use. A lot of the tools we use like Canva and Google docs have a selection of nice and readily available fonts to use, but, when I’m making something that’s going to feature prominently on my site, it’s nice to have a display font that’s that little bit more special.

There are over 22,000 Font Bundles script fonts to choose from. And, as well as having a huge range of affordable fonts, Font Bundles also have a number of free fonts to download and use, so that you can try before you buy. They actually add a new font to this section every week, so there’s already a wide variety to browse.

I include a signature at the bottom of my posts (you might have seen it), which is just something I knocked together on Canva using one of their default fonts and a heart element that’s free to us. I thought I’d experiment with some new fonts to see if I could come up with something new and a little more unique!

All the fonts featured in this post are free to download. They’re added to your downloads as a zipped folder, so you’ll need a program like WinZip or 7-Zip to extract the files. Once you have them on your computer you just open the font file and click install. I was a bit apprehensive, but it was actually surprisingly straightforward.

Here are my 10 favourite fonts, I’d love to hear which you like best, before I commit!

Admara

I really like the look of this handwritten font, I think it would work really well for small companies with handmade products and that it feels very homemade. The spaces are almost non-existent in this font, so you’ll have to add in a few between words. Here’s the signature in Admara font:

Briquette

Briquette was by far the largest font I downloaded. I chose to try it out because it really looked like some of the fancy lettering that I’ve been trying to digitally draw myself and now I know that there’s an option for me if I need to create something similar quickly.

Tidal Wave

This font is just so bloody cute! All of the letters properly look hand drawn and it really reminds me of cards and gift tags. This is my second favourite of the whole lot I think and it’s really fit for purpose as an end of post signature. What do you think?

Floristry

Floristry looks very similar to a lot of the fonts you already see on lifestyle blogs. The style is very popular for headings, infographics and Pinterest posts. Where this font really shines is that the downloaded folder also contains a second font, which is made up of floral decorations for text. Think wingdings, but botanical. You could easily mix the floral characters with another font, if you wanted to.

Here’s the signature:

Here’s the complimentary decorative font:

Bryana

Bryana is definitely a decorative font. I don’t think it suits my site, at least not for a signature, but I think it could look really awesome as part of my other projects. I think the font looks better in colour than it does in black and white, so I chose a cute peach for it. The file comes with 3 different variations of Bryana to install, I chose “Balon”.

Billie Harley

This font is awesome. There’s a lot of variation between letter sizes and yet they flow so smoothly and beautifully into one another. Billie Harley would look really authentic in letter writing. I’m imagining how gorgeous it would look on some ivory card for something like a wedding invitation too!

Heilig

Heilig is another font that works well in colour. Each letter features multiple little doodles that really help it to stand out. I think there’s a lot you could do with this font, including combining it with other fonts to make really unique headers and designs. Really artsy and fun!

Shoelace Scrawl

I imagine you’ve probably guessed by now that I enjoy a “handwriting” font. Shoelace Scrawl is a very simple, clean doodle type font that really does look like a marker pen style signature. Again, the artist behind this font has done a really good job connecting the letters in a smooth, seamless way.

Blast

Blast is another handwritten font, this time with a really playful vibe. I love that the letters are all slightly out of proportion with one another, I think it looks very much like it was written in felt tip or marker, but, unlike Shoelace Scrawl above, this feels like it was written by a child!

Hey Betty

I’ve totally fallen in love with this font. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to make space for it somewhere in one of my ventures. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing with it yet, but I know it’ll be something wonderful! It really looks like a lot of the lettering I did when I used to bullet journal and just feels so comforting and familiar to me.

I’m going to have a play with some of these fonts and take a deeper dive into the other stuff available on Font Bundles. There are a ton of paid bundles I have got my eye on, I just have to choose one! You might see a new signature on my site pretty soon 🙂
