5. Recess – A thicker version of the doodle print font above and also is more modern in the style. This font’s uppercase is definitely it’s strongest piece and very uniform in size.

7. Script – This thin tipped font will make a great font for upper grades. The look is classic formation for the alphabet written in cursive. It’s probably best used for practicing separate letters rather then putting them together in words, but beautiful letters separately.

Dots, Swirls and Squiggles Fonts

These fonts are great for adding a little detail to your titles. It’s a fun way to distinguish between titles, directions and work spaces.

24. Bumpy Saw – This outlined font appears to have either scales or a scalloped edge, depending how you look at it. The uppercase set is my favorite piece of this set as its the most consistent.

25. Fudge Ribbon – This font is gorgeous. I love the intricate look and yet it’s not so detailed that it feels overwhelming. I think this font is perfect for teacher tools in addition to student worksheets and activity papers.
