7 Free Fonts - From One Teacher to Another

Free fonts help me create my classroom resources. Here are 7 free teacher fonts that I've made, all collected in one place. There is a Zaner-Bloser style font, two handwriting fonts, and some funky, fun fonts.

I'm also including a paid math ten-frame font as number 8 in this list since I made it. I hope you can be inspired to create with these fonts to make your classroom worksheets, parent newsletters, and classroom signage just the way you want.

7 Free Fonts - From One Teacher to Another

I love using different fonts to create subway-inspired Teacher T-Shirt designs, classroom posters, binder covers and I've already compiled my go-to fonts that you may have seen on my products and here on this site.

I don't shy away from experimenting with them, combining them and even creating my own. I read how to create your own font and these were the result. Let me know your thoughts!

1. Leslie's Hand Teacher Font - Modeled after my own handwriting that I use in the classroom, this simple and clean font is what I consider just-right for kindergarten.

It's a Zaner-Bloser style of forming letters. Includes all uppercase, lowercase, numerals and punctuation characters that way you can type exactly what you want without worrying about special characters.

7. Starting Dots Teacher Font - Showing the places to begin each letter stroke, this is my FAVORITE font that I've created. It gets so much use in of my classroom at the beginning of the year when we're hitting the ground running.

I like using it through the rest of the year for math and for assessment purposes.

8. Ten Frame Teacher Font - Here's a bonus one. And while it's not free - it's awesome! Since ten frames can be such a useful tool for helping students “see” numbers and eventually with place value and composing and decomposing numbers… you get the point, right?

Then I figured it might save a lot of time to have ten frames be a font so I can type a ten frame instead of drawing it each time.

    Thank you very much for this article. So much information but not so overwhelming. I have been homeschooling since 2017. I has always been a challenge for my now 12-year-old with severe expressive and receptive delays. So hence his writing would be impaired. I love creating these templates for him He can now write his name in full!

    I download a lot of fonts without trouble, but this one won't install. It just flickers open a window then shuts down without doing anything. Any tips?

      These downloads are set to download automatically. You might want to check your downloads folder - or be sure that the computer you're using will let you download a dropbox file. Sometimes school computers won't allow that due to administrator settings.

      If you are on an Apple computing device (iMac, Macbook, iPhone, iPad, etc) make sure you are using the Safari browser to click on the download link. This seems to be the only way this will work (and it works great!). The native Apple unzipper will do the work just fine, and you can start using the font immediately.

      Really appreciate you making this available to everyone. I already printed out lots of phrases for our kids to practice.

    Can we use these fonts for commercial purposes, such as to make TPT items? Would you like attribution and a link back to this site?

      Hi Liz,
      The starting dots font is for personal use only - but the others are available for commercial use with a link to kindergartenworks.com. Thanks, Leslie

    Hi There!

    Are the 7 fonts listed Free? Specifically the 10 frame one? I clicked the linked and it took me to TPT. Is that correct?

    Let me know. I would love to get my hands on that font!

      Sam, yes you're right - that is a paid font - the rest of the ones featured are free. If you love it, you can definitely snag it from TPT.

      Hi Bonnie, No, unfortunately only fonts in the Google repository are available to use in Google docs.

    What is the font you use on your book labels... I love them and downloaded them, but might need to make different labels depending on the organization of my books. Thanks!

    I really like your products, Leslie, and I have bought and used several. But lately there are so many ads popping up, I am never able to get to the download stage. Can you help me with this? Thanks.

      Hi Janice, I've just switched ad networks and there seems to be a glitch. Thanks for letting me know. I'll see what I can do to get that fixed asap.

      I do see that there is an arrow in the top right corner (until the fix is complete) to move those ads out of the way to view the photos within the post. Sorry about that!
