A repository containing two fonts (xkcd Script and xkcd) derived from the handwriting of xkcd author Randall Munroe, distributed as TTF, WOFF, and OTF files. It includes a live web preview and font generation tooling written in Python.
Use cases
- give my website a hand-drawn xkcd comic look
- find a handwriting-style font for slides or docs
- render MathJax equations in a comic-style font
- download the xkcd font as ttf or woff
- make charts and plots look like xkcd comics
When to choose
- you want authentic xkcd-style handwriting fonts for non-commercial projects
- you need web font files (woff/ttf/otf) ready to use
- you want a script font with a casual, hand-drawn feel
When to avoid
- you need a font for commercial products - the CC BY-NC 3.0 license forbids commercial use
- you need a highly legible, professional typeface
- you need fonts with complete character coverage or polished kerning
