xkcd-font
Fonts derived from the handwriting of @randallmunroe, the xkcd webcomic author. Yes, it really is his handwriting, and he hopes we fix the pesky kerning:
[Credit to xkcd]
This repository contains two fonts, xkcd Script
and xkcd
, each with their own characteristics (and limitations):
Font: xkcd Script
xkcd Script
is a font derived from a handwriting sample provided by Randall.
It is far less uniform than xkcd
, and we think it is therefore more like a true script font.
You can see the font as a live preview, or for more information about the font and how it is constructed see the xkcd-script/README.
Font: xkcd
The xkcd
font was originally created by Randall, and was used in xkcd "The Pace of Modern Life" (April 1st, 2013).
It is considerably more uniform than xkcd Script
, which can result in more legibility at the cost of being slightly less like the actual xkcd comic.
