Is ChalkBoard free for commercial use?
Free for Personal Use No. ChalkBoard is free for personal use. The font file does not give permission for commercial use, so for logos, products or client work, get a commercial license from the designer first.
ChalkBoard is a handwritten font. The letters have the small wobbles and personality of real handwriting, so your text feels warm instead of printed. It's a free download, and you can try it with your own text in the preview above first.

What You Can Type With ChalkBoard
You get every letter from A to Z in both cases and all the numbers from 0 to 9, which means ChalkBoard can handle full sentences, dates and prices. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. There are no accented letters like é or ñ, so it's best kept to English text.
Where ChalkBoard Works Best
Designers usually reach for fonts like ChalkBoard when they're making greeting cards, journal pages and friendly social posts. Set it a bit larger than you would a normal text font. Handwriting styles lose their charm once they get too small to read comfortably.
