When you need a chalkboard font for your graphic design project it can be challenging to find one. So I hope this list of chalk fonts can help you out.
These free chalkboard fonts can give your designs a fun and friendly look mimicking the writing on school blackboards, café menu boards or sidewalks. That being said, typography can communicate various things, so the context and the other fonts with which are paired can give chalkboard fonts different meanings.
Being a designer myself, I’ve worked on a few projects where I wanted to use a chalkboard font, but it was not easy finding one that fit. I had to design a school website once and, I remember, I went through at least ten websites to find a chalk font that matched the writing on a blackboard effect I was aiming for.
Like other fonts that resemble hand writing, chalkboard fonts have a distinct look and feel to them, giving the impression of human touch and personality. They have grainy and grungy textures, wonky letters – just how something written in chalk would look like.
