There are just a few weeks/days to go until Christmas – time to start thinking about gifts and dust off the traditional decorations. It’s also a great time to show off our skills as designers. And you don’t have to be a professional to create postcards, posters, greeting cards and tags for presents, for example, to surprise your family and friends. You may also want to send greetings to contacts on social media. In any case, choosing a good font – and combining it with other elements such as icons, colours, and illustrations – is something to keep in mind.
Luckily, technology makes things very easy for us, and it’s now possible to find a wide variety of free fonts on sites such as Dafont and Fontspace for use in personal projects. For professional projects, fonts can be downloaded for a very affordable price at Myfonts, one of the most popular sites with a wide variety of Christmas-themed fonts.
FM Christmas 3.0
This collection is comprised of 26 Christmas greetings in a calligraphy style.
There are two other handwritten fonts worth noting:
Chopin Script
Its curved lines make it look as if it has been written with a fountain pen and India ink.
Shipped Goods
Characterised by its traditional yet elegant strokes.
However, if you’re looking for something truly spectacular, there are some very interesting options.
Desire
While this is intended for book covers, publishers, packaging, advertising etc., if we use it combined with red and white we get an extra powerful festive feel.
Mercury Script
This calligraphy also has a cinematic touch that will turn any message into something very special.
Next, here are two fonts that have the same sombre yet playful nature of the posters for Tim Burton films.
