What You Can Type With FreeHand BlockLetter

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, FreeHand BlockLetter is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too.

Ligatures and Smart Letters in FreeHand BlockLetter

Its ligatures switch on by themselves in most design apps: certain letter pairs join into one specially drawn shape.

Where FreeHand BlockLetter Works Best

FreeHand BlockLetter is a natural fit for 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. Because the family has more than one style, you can mix them in a single design for headings, subheadings and highlights.
