Fonts i thought would work

When looking at these fonts i was looking for a straight edge with a nice serif so it looks neat but hand drawn.
Here are three fonts i have looked at.


I don't like the top one, i feel that its not clear enough and doesn't capture what i am wanting for my website.


As you can see from these close ups that the bottom font which is called "Grutchshaded" This font is what i was looking for because of the clarity and also the thickness in shade.

Fonts i found on Dafont.

I was looking around for a font that would suit my website so i went to Dafont, which is a font website that my teacher from college informed me about. After looking through this website i found a selection a varied style fonts which would all be appropriate for my sketch style website.


As you can see these styles look hand drawn so im going to Download a few and see what would suit my website.

When making my website i wanted to give it quite a rough looking website like an artists desk with pens, rubbers and sketches. i want to do this because it will reflect on the rough idea person i am, it also reflects on how organised i am and also my creative twang.



I didn't want to do normal looking buttons so i decided to used ripped paper with the word wrote on the paper to keep that feel of a hand crafted website.
