Fun Write

There's something instantly disarming about a typeface that looks like it was written by hand. It communicates something that no polished, geometric font can quite replicate—a sense of presence, personality, and genuine human expression. Fun Write captures that quality and channels it into a playful handwritten font that feels warm, spontaneous, and full of positive energy. Inspired by the honest, expressive quality of children's handwriting, Fun Write is the typeface for any design that needs to feel friendly, personal, and genuinely fun.

Writing Joy Into Every Letter

The name Fun Write brings together the two things this typeface does best: it makes writing feel fun. There's no pretension here, no attempt to look formal or refined in a traditional sense. Fun Write wears its personality openly through rounded letterforms, simple construction, and the kind of natural irregularity that makes a typeface feel like it came from a real hand rather than a drawing program.

That sense of authenticity is surprisingly difficult to achieve in type design. Capturing the quality of natural handwriting in a repeatable, consistent font requires careful balance: too regular and it loses its organic character; too irregular and it becomes difficult to read. Fun Write finds that balance by drawing inspiration from the way children naturally write—simple, unhurried forms with a genuine warmth that comes through in every character.

Inspired by the Honesty of Children's Writing

Fun Write's design takes its cues from children's handwriting, a style that is spontaneous, expressive, and completely unselfconscious. Where adult handwriting often develops habits and mannerisms over years of use, children's writing has a directness and simplicity that feels immediately relatable and inviting.

The design translates that quality into a cohesive typographic system through three key principles: simple letterform construction, rounded terminals that eliminate harsh angles, and an overall structure that mimics the natural movement of writing. The result is a typeface that feels genuinely alive, as if it had been written moments ago rather than carefully engineered.

Design Characteristics: Rounded, Casual, Human

The most immediately recognizable quality of Fun Write is its rounded, soft character. Every stroke ends gently, without the sharp cuts or geometric precision often associated with formal typefaces. This visual softness gives Fun Write its approachable personality, making it suitable for everything from children's publishing to creative social media content.

The simple, naïve construction keeps the typeface from feeling overdesigned. Each character follows the most direct and legible interpretation of its shape, helping the font maintain clarity even when used as a display font.

Fun Write is available in two styles—Regular and Oblique—providing designers with a practical way to create hierarchy and emphasis within a project. The Oblique style introduces a sense of movement and energy that works particularly well in headlines and promotional graphics.

Both styles are available in OTF and WOFF2 formats, supporting professional print production as well as modern web and digital publishing workflows.

Features at a Glance

Fun Write includes a carefully selected set of OpenType features that support both creative flexibility and multilingual usability:

• Discretionary Ligatures (dlig) for smoother and more natural handwritten letter combinations.
• Fractions (frac), Superscript, Subscript, and Scientific Inferiors for educational and instructional materials.

The Human Touch That Design Often Needs
