14 Handwriting Font Ideas – Free To Use From Google Fonts

One thing I never get tired of when it comes to website design is a really nice handwriting font – especially when it’s used as an accent throughout the design. I’ve put together a list of the best free handwriting fonts you can use for your own website.

Most script fonts you see on various websites require you to buy a license to use the font, but sometimes that may not be in your budget or you’re not entirely sure if you want to stick with using a script font. These free font options from Google are a great way to achieve the handwritten look without having to pay anything. Just make sure your website allows you to upload font files for custom fonts.
