Cricket

Cricket font by Amy Conger is a free handwritten typeface with a wonderfully spindly, storybook personality. Tall, twig-like letters wobble just enough to feel human, while the inky curls and loops at the ends add a playful, slightly mischievous twist. It looks like it was drawn with a scratchy pen on textured paper—light, airy, and a bit eccentric, without ever becoming hard to read.

Using Cricket, this free font comes alive in children’s book covers, whimsical party invitations, seasonal posters, teacher printables, craft packaging, and quirky branding for boutiques or handmade goods. It shines at larger sizes where the curls and irregular lines can really show. Pair this handwritten font with a clean, neutral sans serif in small text to keep layouts charming but still readable.
