Bored with Helvetica? Arial leaving you a bit cold? Calibri not doing it for you anymore? Then maybe it’s time to investigate the Songwriters Font project.

Created by Julien Sens and Nicolas Damiens, they say “Songwriting is about inspiration. Write songs as the ones who inspired you before. The Songwriters fonts have been created to give songwriters inspiration. Writing lyrics with the handwriting of influential songwriters helps imagination to develop.”

Here, for example, is the Kurt Cobain font chart available for free download.

Bowie’s looks like this.

And if you want to write like Lennon, download this.

You can also get fonts based on the handwriting of Serge Gainsborough and Leonard Cohen.
