Designing by hand requires some time and skills that not all modern graphic designers have. To create designs with a handmade look-and-feel despite this, you can use some great resources like the following chalk fonts.

1. Chalk Hand Lettering

A handwriting font that emulates the vintage style chalkboard signs lettering. You can also use it to make a school chalkboard design. It comes with a subtle texture on the edge of letters to make it look more real. If you plan on using it for titling, you’ll love the shaded version and the chalk hand elements. Available on MyFonts.

4. Chalkline Bold

Chalkline by Letraset is a font with a long history, as it was designed in 1988 by Tony Watson. For a long time, the typeface was too complex to be digitalized, so it only came out as a digital font in 2003. As its name suggests, the font has a nice chalk look and feel.
