50 Free Styled Fonts for Creating Elegant Designs

Sometimes, Times New Roman and Arial just don’t cut it. Sure, they’re functional for everyday documents and emails, but when it comes to making a more creative project, styled fonts will help the work stand out.

Styled fonts have personality that can help you match the mood your project. Going for an upscale look? Opt for a luxury font. If your project has a vintage or formal vibe, an elegant cursive font might be more appropriate. In this article, you’ll find a wealth of free fonts that you can use across Picsart creative platforms. Just follow your instincts and let your creativity guide you.

Why Choose Styled Fonts for Your Designs

Fonts speak, literally and figuratively. In order to fit your message into a design coherently, you should use a font that replicates the feel of the design. Think about the project you’re about to create. Now ask yourself, ‘What it’s all about and what do I want it to communicate?’ You might even try writing down a few keywords like elegance, luxury, or class, and then having those terms guide your search for the perfect font.

Types of Fonts

Serif fonts

Serif fonts have tiny little lines at the end of the letters. Because these letters have a bit of frill, we often associate them with elegance, luxury, and literary texts. Use these classy fonts in your documents, posters, and beyond. They’re great for text-heavy spaces because they’re easy to read.

Sans-serif fonts

Sans-serif fonts are clean and sleek with uninterrupted lines and no frills. One of the best design font styles, sans-serif lettering is versatile and refined. These are elegant fonts that strike a balance of being modern, too.

Cursive fonts

Stylish cursive fonts are full of frill and evoke elegance, class, and luxury. Many are calligraphic in nature, and can, therefore, look timeless or nostalgic. There are a wide variety of modern-looking cursive fonts that are perfect for laid-back invites, chic menus, and everyday use.
