Design a nice pencil and handwritten style Woork like

The way you present your posts is crucial to attract more visitors on your site and to increase your traffic. Every time I add a new post on my blog I spend a little bit of time to prepare a well presented post, adding for example some explanation images with some comments using a pencil and handwritten style which my readers love! I receive daily at least two emails where some readers ask to me what is the font I use in my tutorials to simulate this effect and how I design pencil-style lines. So I decided to add a little explanation in this post.


Pencil style
Since I started this blog I used this style (pencil + handwritten), to design all images I added to my post. Now, I can say it has been a good choice because it's a little particular which my readers love and, in some way, gives a little bit of personality to my post. To design my pecil-handwritten images I use a standard Illustrator brush:


Handwritten fonts
For explanation text I use Kelly Script and for the header (or simply to obtain a nice graphic effect) I use Cutty Fruit:



For my new tag cloud in the header of my blog (and for the new logo) I used Vintage font instead of Anarchistic which I used for the header of my old site.

I prepared a zip file with these font which you can download here:

Ok, it's all! I hope you can find this post useful to find new ideas and inspiration for your site!
