Delightful Font Family was designed by Jessie Parker, and and published by Jessie Makes Stuff. Delightful contains 8 styles and family package options.
Delightful is a whimsical and cheerful handwritten font family of varying weights and widths. This typeface is like if Comic Sans had a cousin who studied abroad one summer and now wears scarves to look more grown up, even though inside she’s still the same, sweet marshmallow she always was.
The letters were inspired by my handwriting on a good day – slowed down, legible, and intentionally drawn. I even threw in some of my favorite doodles as alt characters because the set wouldn’t be complete without them. And the name was inspired purely by how it feels when I see it – and by my word of the year, delight.
Delightful is ideal for anyone who wants to include a bit more warmth and a personal touch with their messaging. It’s friendly and non-threatening, and will enhance personal projects or professional ones alike – whether you’re a designer, an Instagram influencer, or you need to create some flyers for the local Mom ‘n Pop Shop.
There are two versions of this font. The original style is slightly more rounded and gets chubbier as you increase its boldness, and the stretched style is like a condensed version, except it’s been stretched taller rather than squished narrower.
I hope you delight in it as much as I do!
