Journaling Fonts | Pad Patter 01.11.23

for me it depends on the style of the page i'm doing, but i often tend toward handwriting style fonts. I would love to have mine made into a font, just so it could look like i actually wrote the journaling on my pages. I think that would be cool!

Yes! I do a combination of print and cursive, so I'm not sure mine would look that good! LOL

I’ve used VTPortable Remington (or is it Remington portable?) for many, many years, but have pretty much adopted it as my almost always journaling font for about the last 3 or 4 years. On layouts that I’ve had printed, many of the handwriting fonts I used in the past are so hard to read. I like to tell stories and I want them to be easily read. I have tons of fonts, but reserve those mostly for titles or creating a little word art.

I'm the same way. I do like more ornate, loopy fonts for titles, but I want an easy-to-read, prints well, font for my journaling.

I use Special Elite - since 2015, lol, and my own handwriting that Wendy made into a font years ago. Both are pretty legible. 99% of my layouts are now Special Elite.




I used to agonize over the font and spend SO much time looking for the perfect one. I decided I'm wasting time, and chose Special Elite as my go to.... Occasionally, I do need a title font, but I give myself a time limit, lol! And I look at old pages to see what the font was before I search for a new one.

Omigosh, I'm giggling that you give yourself a time limit. That's what I should do!

I used to try to use a new handwritten font on every layout, but now I almost always go with "The Skinniness" or the "Mary Kate" by Heather Joyce. They are my favorites. Otherwise I usually go to the "Traveling Typewriter" one from dafont.

oooh I really like "The Skinniness", gonna add that to my folder!

Oh, I love fonts. The ones I use the most is Traveling Typewriter and XBAND Rough. Agree about Kimberly Geswin's fonts. So many great ones! My favorites are KG Luck of the Irish and KG PDX Bridgetown.

There's a font of my hand writing as well, but I rarely use it. Really don't like it LOL MTF Eva's Hand

And while looking for links for this post, I found and downloaded a couple of more fonts ... One can never have too many fonts.
