Step into a world where creativity feels raw, playful, and unfiltered. Blackbird isn’t just a font — it’s a creative experience. Crafted entirely from hand-drawn crayon strokes, this expressive script font delivers a delightfully textured, authentic look that instantly elevates any project. Whether you’re designing a festival poster, a children’s book cover, or a boutique brand identity, Blackbird injects every letter with warmth, personality, and artistic soul.
Experience the Power of Hand-Drawn Authenticity
Unlike polished digital scripts, Blackbird celebrates imperfection. The subtle variations in line weight, the soft grain of crayon, the slight smudges — all are preserved across every character. This isn’t a simulated texture. It’s real. You can feel the hand of the artist in every stroke. This makes Blackbird ideal for projects that demand uniqueness, emotional depth, and a tactile, personal touch.
- True Hand-Drawn Aesthetic: Each character was sketched with real crayons, ensuring a natural, organic feel that machines can’t replicate.
- Rich Textural Detail: Crayon wax texture, subtle shading, and visible layering create depth and dimension in your text.
- Emotion-Driven Design: Perfect for content that speaks to childhood nostalgia, artistic rebellion, or creative freedom.
Use Blackbird to tell stories that feel personal — not corporate. Let your audience connect with the humanity behind the message.
Two-Part Font System: Script + Extra Expressions
Blackbird is thoughtfully structured into two complementary files so you can customize your layout with precision:
- Script Font (Basic Characters + Accents): Delivers the core script with clean, readable letters. Divided into main character set and separate accents file for optimized performance and file size control.
- Extras Font (Swashes, Underlines, Arrows, Decorative Illustrations, Scratches): Add flair and individuality with over 100+ expressive embellishments. Use them to highlight key words, create borders, design icons, or add playful interruptions to your text flow.
Together, these two fonts give you full control over the visual rhythm and personality of your design. Choose only the elements you need — or go all-in with wild, imaginative layouts.
