About The Hand Font

The Hand Font is a handwritten sans-serif typeface designed by the French duo Fanny Coulez and Julien Saurin. The goal was to create a perfect handwritten font that is easy to read and has a natural, freehand feel. The font family has seven different weights, from the light Hand Light to the bold Hand Extrablack. There are also two charming dotted versions (Hand Dotted 1 and Hand Dotted 2) that add a playful touch to designs.

The Hand Font supports many languages, including French, German, Italian, and Greek. This makes it versatile for designers who want a consistent style in different cultural contexts.

My Personal Experience With The Hand Font

I love The Hand Font’s typography. The letters have a natural and human touch, with a sense of flow and liveliness. They look like they were created with a skilled calligraphic pen. Even though they have a freehand style, the characters are still clear and easy to read. They strike a perfect balance between being expressive and practical.

What truly sets The Hand Font apart is its extensive range of weights. The lighter variants, such as Hand Light and Hand Regular, lend an air of casual elegance to body text, while the bolder styles (Hand Bold, Hand Black, and Hand Extrablack) command attention, making them ideal for headlines and display typography.

Where Can You Use The Hand Font?

The Hand Font is very versatile and can be used for many different design purposes. It is great for branding and packaging of consumer goods, especially those aimed at a young and trendy audience. It also works well for editorial layouts, giving a classy look to magazine spreads and book covers.

The Hand Font’s dotted versions are playful and childlike, suitable for children’s literature, educational materials, and projects needing whimsy. They can also be used for wedding invitations and greeting cards to add a warm, handcrafted charm.
