    I am new to digital scrapbooking and I am searching for a font for my journaling. I am thinking of a style similar to my own handwriting, since I used to write on my paper scrapbook pages (especially the Project Life ones). I still want the font to be legible when printed. There are so many fonts out there. What are some of your favorite fonts for journaling?

    I don't know what your handwriting looks like, but Heather has a lot of handwriting fonts in the store. This is one of my favorites for legibility.

    You might really enjoy having your handwriting made into a font if you love writing on your own pages . . . and Heather Joyce is able to that for you! @talktoheather

    Interesting @gonewiththewind. I had never considered using my own handwriting.

    My own handwriting is not as neat as the first font listed here by @lorryfach. More of a blend of print and cursive, perhaps girly but not fancy or perfect.

    Just curious what fonts some of the ladies here are using and love.

    I have over 2,000 fonts (like 2,400 LOL), but end up using a few at a time . . . in a rotation . . . I don't know why I do that BUT I do!

    I use this one quite a bit, Always In My Heart:

    Along with this one, Eyes Wide Open by Kimberly Geswein (she has TONS of fabulous fonts ~ http://www.dafont.com/kimberly-geswein.d1468):

    I went through a stage when I loved Arsenale White and Soymilk:

    I'm using this typewriter font for my Document Your December album. I know it's not handwritten, but I love it!

    My favorite is Heather Joyce's The Sarah, but she has a ton of cool ones!

    You can get it by itself, or as part of this pack

    These aren't all "handwriting" fonts per say, but these are my favorites!

    CK MAMA O is my all time favorite font in the history of ever. If you look in my gallery you will see this font pretty much all the time. It's a billion times prettier than my actual handwriting, but I so love the way it looks!

    I just found this font, Master of Break, and I think it will be so super perfect for titles!

    The Jellyka fonts are really lovely and I use St. Andrew's Queen quite often. I love the way it looks in a black color and then blended or with black or blue it looks like pen and is really lovely. These all work really well super big for titles too.

    Those are my faves off the top of my head but if I think of more I will be back! I'm pretty boring when it comes to fonts!

    @crystalbella77 thanks for mentioning your fonts in the gallery it is great to be able to look at whole layouts with fonts in use. Seems simple but I hadn't thought of that.

    Yeah, about that, I really don't keep track of them. I did have a font organizer that I tried, but I rarely seemed to use it. I just flick through quickly in PSE with the fonts in large view to see what I want to use. Like I said, I tend to have favorites that I use in cycles.

    I'm like @crystalbella77 as well ~ all my layouts in the gallery have the fonts listed so you can see what was used.

    And finally, I should never have entered this thread again. I downloaded more fonts. LOL

    I use a font manager - free - for my fonts, but I find myself using the same ones a lot!
    One of my favorites is this one:

    I used The Pencil for all of my 2014 PL pages and LOVED it. Sort of like handwriting, but MUCH neater, LOL. It was just dark/bold enough and the right "size" for my journaling.

    Here are a couple of random examples to see how this font looks on the page.
