Premier Hand Drawn Font Collection OTF & SVG

These fonts look hand drawn because... they are hand drawn... outside of a computer.

Included in this collection are the first 14 hand drawn fonts released by Matthew Allen. The fonts in this collection are the OTF and SVG fonts.

SVG Fonts, usable in Adobe Photoshop, enable the nuance and texture of a hand lettered type to translate to the font form. The marker version of Surf Film is a great example of how an SVG font can emulate hand drawn type. You can use adjustment layers to change the color of the font and adjust the font layer using "multiply" to achieve stunning, true to life, marker effects!

The OTF fonts are infinitely scalable. They still possesses the nuance of hand lettered fonts, while working just like any other font in your font library.

These fonts can be used in publishing, in print and online, as well as on the web and in apps when you purchase the correct licensing option.

How do I figure out how many users I should purchase for?

Think about how many people in your company will be accessing and using the font files. That’s how many users you need to license for. An exception to this is third party subcontractors like printers,  developers, animators, etc. (outside of your company) who may need access to the files for your projects temporarily. These are allowed temporary access under our license as long as they delete the files after the project is complete.

What if I’m purchasing for a client?

How many people on the company’s team will be accessing/using the font files? That’s how many users you need to purchase for. Write the client’s name in the notes section of your order if purchasing for them, or have them purchase directly.

Can I use this font license on more than one client project?

Each new client project requires a new license to be purchased for that client.
