Author's note

Author Handwriting font by Origin Type is a free handwritten typeface that finally nails the “real note” look without turning sloppy. Its inky, slightly scuffed strokes and gentle forward lean read like a quick jot from a felt-tip pen—casual, warm, and still tidy. The rhythm stays even, so lines feel friendly and conversational while remaining clean at small sizes.

Using Author Handwriting, you can add a human touch to journaling pages, teacher worksheets, quote graphics, social posts, recipe cards, coffee-cup labels, and cozy event invites. The spacing keeps words breathable, which helps headlines pop and longer captions stay readable. For a simple pairing, set body copy in a clean geometric sans and let this free font handle headings; bump the size a notch and give it a hair of extra letter spacing for airy charm.
