Hecubus

Hecubus font by Lauren Ashpole is a free handwritten typeface. Its tall, slightly wobbly letters feel like quick marker strokes on a whiteboard-casual and human, but still clean enough to read at a glance. The narrow shapes and even rhythm let you squeeze in longer headlines or chatty copy without looking cramped, solving that “fun but still legible” note so many projects need.

Using Hecubus, you can bring an easygoing tone to comics, zines, classroom materials, kids’ branding, posters, and informal packaging. The smooth curves and upright stance keep messages friendly rather than messy, so it works beautifully on both screens and print. For a simple pairing, set Hecubus for titles and match it with a plain sans serif for small supporting text.
