5 Handlettering Fonts For Planners & Journals

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, it's SO wonderful to see someone doing any kind of hand lettering! I used to do calligraphy in high school a million years ago. This brought back memories of practicing letters over and over and over, when I was first learning the various styles. I haven't done it in years upon years. My hands have forgotten it all. It makes me sad. My regular handwriting has gotten awful as well, since I rarely have any need to write anything anymore. Even when I was working in an office, we just... didn't need to write anything. Thank you for keeping this skill alive!

[@emilylackey3840]

I just watched the hand lettering video you did five years ago and was really hoping for an updated version! Thank you so much for this video! It is SUPER helpful.

I remember learning cursive writing when I was very young. Sometimes it feels like a lost art form because a lot of people don’t use it anymore. Nice little tutorial. ❤

[@KatzNoirNation]

I have been desperately waiting for a video like this, THANK YOU

[@WhereWhoMe]

To practice and not take things too seriously. Two very important things to remember. That and to make things wonky and remember that you meant to make it that way. It is a good reminder for planning and life in general. Thank you for the tutorial and reminders. 💙

[@sujataplans]

I was waiting for this video. Thank you sooo much Helan for one more beautiful video 😍.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I'm glad you like it Sujata!

[@cheryldailey5310]

I'm going to practice. Thanks for outlining how you letter in your planner. I feel asleep a little at the end. The sound of the brush pen going across the page relaxed me.

[@moonlitplanning]

I LOVE the color + outline, but I struggle to write the letter in one stroke, so it looks all weird 😭 You’ve inspired me to keep practicing, so thank you! hehehehe Happy Sunday, Helen!!!!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hahaha it definitely takes a lot of practice to know where to stop and start! Keep going Yena!!!

[@Yesica1993]

I don't think there's any quick fix. It's just like learning to write when you are a little child. You can first learn by tracing, and then you just have to keep writing it over and over and over until your hands become used to it. When I was learning various calligraphy styles in high school (a million years ago) we did row after row, pages upon pages.

[@rocio_mb]

I love the way you explain every step!! Thank you 😊

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Rocio!!

[@jbradleyduru1011]

Loved this video. You have such beautiful penmanship.

[@triciat8009]

Thank you, Helen! The part of brush lettering that has always stumped me is the bouncey part... How to know when or which letters go up or down. The way you explained it was helpful. Thank you!

[@KlNETlCS]

starting the new year and a planner that i really want to try and keep up with so i'll be popping up in your comments a lot lol - thank you for making this! i'll be practicing a lot.

[@nekopug]

This is the most hilarious video! You are the best! Also loved, "When in doubt, draw a duck" sage words!

[@ChantelleArts]

this is super helpful!! I'm going to come back to this when I need to practise ❤❤

[@MariaGSL]

I really like all your handwriting💘!! Helen, thanks so much por the pdf, lots of great tips, I'll be practicing all them🤗😍.

[@biomedmaven]

thank you so much for this! I wanted some "fancy" options for my planner and letter writing and had no idea you had this on your channel! I struggle with the Tombow brush pen (the thicker down strokes) mine looks a mess, but I will keep practicing lol

[@CreatingWonderland]

This was so HELPFUL!!! I can’t wait to try out different styles again. I haven’t practiced in ages and I’m doing daily pages again. This is perfect timing!

[@jeriannmahnich]

Wow! This is so helpful-to see your Tombows glide so smoothly (hard or soft tip); makes me think mine are old and dried out… I’m wondering if I need to purchase from a store instead of Amazon-not sure how long their products sit, but mine have never written as smooth as yours.

[@bookhuggah]

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing your methods. I love the colourful one! It seems very approachable, and like something that's easy to incorporate into cardmaking I want to do too.

[@WendyInMD]

Great tips! Thanks for the tutorials, Helen! 💕

[@melanie98d]

Hooray for wonky lettering!🎉❤ They are cute and forgiving.

[@carronbenoit6006]

[@anapedregal]

Do you have any script practice sheet? Like the one on your website for your regular handwriting. I love your script lettering. Thank you a lot for all your work. Fighting! ^^

[@sajabell2830]

lol i just now wanted to look up a video of you to see some of your handwriting, to see if i can recreate.. this will so 🤣

[@madlibpoet]

I feel so dumb, but can you take a shot level with the table so I can see the tip of your pen? I feel the brush skipping weirdly and I’m just so puzzled. Do you push with your whole hand or just your fingers?

[@taylorls9215]

What notebook is that?? I’m always on the hunt for grid notebooks!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

This is a Hobonichi notebook!

[@taylorls9215]

[@catherinehead6001]

My biggest challenge with lettering is that I am left- handed- it never comes out looking as good but I will keep on practicing. Also, it's cause I can't pull through the strokes - I have to push a stroke through.

[@Crafty_lady42]

I’m Japanese. / and I want you all to know Japanese letters are 3 ways / hiragana , katakana and kanji mixed in the sentence . And it’s not wanky at all as Hiragana , we learn how to write properly at school .

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I'm not Japanese but I was born in Japan! I know there are different alphabets. When I talk about "wonky", I don't mean that Hiragana is wonky. I mean the font style! Just like how English letters are properly written, but you can write them in fun ways for journaling. I hope this made sense!

[@Crafty_lady42]

Helen , I’m not attacking you , just let you know . If you used to live in Japan , there’s knowledge ! That’s why I don’t people doesn’t want to my culture is strange words . That’s all ! Cheers ! I love your planning style and stickers . Hobonichi cousin is coming up soon ! I’m so excited !! I wish you can have a shop in Japan as well. To get easily here ! For me !! :)

[@tatianavelasco1335]

I think the Modern Caligraphy Handlettering is better

[@phyerfly79]

6:47 is cursive not calligraphy

[@mybrainonplans]

I disagree, this tutorial was excellent!

[@80babina]

love this combined with @mydandeliondiaries video about calligraphy it is just perfections. So many options, and lots of practice to start!
