Handwritten Fonts

Handwriting by Stefanie Madison

Creative Brief

Client: Stefanie Madison (Self-Initiated)
Project: Handwritten Font Collection
Objective: A self-initiated series of handwritten fonts created for Stefanie Madison, an online font shop focused on personality-driven type. Each font was designed to feel unique, expressive, and authentically hand-drawn, catering to creatives, brands, and designers seeking warmth and individuality in their work.

Challenge

The challenge was to craft a cohesive collection of fonts that each stood on their own, retaining the organic charm of real handwriting while ensuring digital usability across various platforms and applications.

Solution

Design Language: Each typeface was individually hand-lettered, capturing a range of moods, from playful and casual to refined and delicate, while maintaining a consistent artistic voice across the collection.

Authenticity: Imperfections were intentionally preserved in the stroke work to maintain a human, tactile quality. This gave each font a sense of character and story.

Technical Polish: Fonts were digitised with care, ensuring clean kerning, smooth vector paths, and compatibility across common design software.

Versatility: The final set was created for broad use—ideal for branding, packaging, social media graphics, and more—while allowing designers to inject a hand-crafted feel into their work.
