BOOKS WITH PRETTY HANDWRITING TEXT ON THE COVER
Talking about cover design and elements that make it so pretty is something I do often around here. One element I perhaps don’t consider enough is the handwriting or cursive text on the book cover, or a font that looks like handwriting.Â

BOOKS WITH PRETTY HANDWRITING TEXT ON THE COVER. #BookArt #BookCovers #TTT #TopTenList #BookList Share on XSome fonts on a book cover design are actually hand-drawn (which I did not take the time to find), and in a world that is comfortable giving up our creativity, I love it when I see an artist credited with this job. There are some really pretty fonts that look like handwriting too, but either way, text or fonts or handwriting can be an important and pretty centerpiece in a design. This list is mostly made up of cute cursive-like text because, well, that’s what I had the time for this week! A couple of these I don’t own, but I broke the rules just because. Presenting handwriting book cover designs.Â

And it’s a great story inside too – plus the story themes is about writing. :)
I love when books credit the cover artist. I mean, they put in the hard work; why don’t they deserve credit for it?
Here’s my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/book-covers-with-eye-catching-typography/
I do too Pam! And I know I’ve even seen artists credited with designing a hand-lettered font, but I didn’t hunt for those when putting this together. Maybe next time. :)
So pretty!
Definitely! :)
