Schoolgirl is a playful combination of penmanship and subtle scruffiness. Created from black ink, the font offers a clean shape to each characters, giving the typeface a scholastic feel. That back-to-school font is ideal for big blocks of text. If you look at the message below, can you guess who wrote these words?

It’s always a good occasion to remind friends and family that you are thinking about them. You can now use Happy Birthday, a wonderful new font hand-drawn with colored pencils, to send warm wishes to those you love.
This decorative font has been created from original drawings of streamers. The shape of the type and its quaint smileys, are reminiscent of our first childhoold experiences with hand-made birthdays cards, where we’d spend hours with our favourite box of pencils making our message looks just perfect. It’s playfulness comes from the subtle combination of soft colours and the play of lights and shadow that give it a three dimensional feel.
While this font’s classic look is suitable for birthdays and anniversaries, it’s simple lines and vibrant colours are guaranteed to add a touch of joy festiveness to any message.
