Recommended "handwritten" fonts?

I believe Barbara Hand is included on most operating systems, and that is the one basic handwriting typefaces I can think of. But there are many more if you want it to look a little more handwritten than that basic typeface. I recommend Font Garden for some lovely fonts based on handwriting.

i love “trashhand” http://www.dafont.com/trash-hand.font

Why not make your own?

I have Word 2007, just so you know…
for a cursive-y hand, I like “Freestyle Script” or “Segoe Script”
for print maybe “Segoe Print” or “Tempus Sans ITC”?

For mailing labels, I would put ease of readability above all else.

Lucida Sans Calligraphy or Curlz are nice.

If you mean “hand written” rather than “handwriting” – then I suggest Comic Sans. Very easy on the eyes.

@cam6662 No offense, but in my opinion Comic Sans should never be used for anything except comics. It’s so terribly over-used and it’s just so… blech.

That’s just me being a design student though.

these are ones that i like:

Milk & Cereal, Tekton Pro, Heather, Albermarle, Penstyle, Segoe Script, Shelter Me, PR8 Charade, CAC Shishoni Brush, Angilina Regular
