One subset of fonts that can have a funky feel to them are handwritten fonts. UrbanFonts.com offers more than 150 handwritten fonts available for download including Abuse, Cypher and Yellow Jacket. The fonts resemble different styles of handwriting with a variety of brush strokes, slants and levels of formality. Some of the fonts can also have a funky flare to them with slashing lettering, oversize letters and block lettering. Handwritten fonts can give your project varying levels of funkiness.
Graffiti fonts are designed to resemble street artwork or graffiti. The letters often have a bubble feel to them and normally flow into one another. Graffiti fonts are also often two dimensional with a black outline behind white lettering. Fonts.com has more than 90 different graffiti fonts available for download, including Owned, Jumpshot Two and Zalamander. Graffiti fonts will add a funky side to your project, but you should avoid using them as a text font, as they can make reading large amounts of text difficult.
When the word techno comes to mind, you might think of highly synthesized music and angular dance movements. But, those funky things can also be brought to mind by a techno font. Da Font.com has techno fonts available for downloads in several different categories including square, sci-fi and LCD. Each different font family offers a different take on funky fonts and offers some familiar styles, including Transformers, Batman Forever and Tron.
There are several different varieties of script fonts and not all have a funky edge, but there are some that fit the bill. Brush scripts and trash scripts are much less traditional than their counterparts and offer designers a creative edge when working with text. Both brush and trash scripts look like they were created with pen and ink or pencils and tend to include scribbles, dots or other artistic additions to the lettering. Both scripts types are available for download on all three sites.
