The "Human Touch" Trend: 7 Handwritten Fonts to Authenticate Your Brand in 2026
In a world filled with AI-generated images and perfectly polished sans-serifs, audiences are craving something real. They want to see the "hand" behind the brand.
Handwritten typography is the easiest way to bridge that gap. It says: "We are human. We are approachable. We are authentic."
But not all scripts are created equal. Some are for rebels, some for romantics, and some for play. We’ve curated 7 essential handwritten fonts from our collection that will help you define your voice in 2026.

Vibe: "I don't care about perfection. I care about the message." 👉 Get SA No Rules
