Perfectly Nineties Handwritten
The handwritten sister to your favorite typeface.
Perfectly Nineties Handwritten is a single-weight display face with genuine inky texture and the kind of imperfect charm that only comes from something made by hand. Released as a natural extension of the best-selling Perfectly Nineties, the handwritten edition keeps everything you loved about the original — the warmth, the nostalgia, the elegance — and adds a layer of organic humanity that feels exactly right for this moment.
Each letterform carries subtle ink variation, a softly irregular baseline, and the texture of a marker that actually touched paper. Roman and italic styles are included, giving you expressive range within a single weight.
Perfectly Nineties Handwritten was designed for brands and designers who understand that the most sophisticated thing a typeface can do right now is feel human. In a landscape saturated with geometric precision and AI-generated polish, handwritten type is having a cultural moment — and this is the version of that trend that doesn’t sacrifice craft for character.
Functionally, Perfectly Nineties Handwritten also includes coded contextual alternates to help avoid letter repeat patterns, and includes alternates for each letter and number.
Where it works beautifully: Set it large on a lifestyle brand’s packaging and it reads as considered, not casual. Use it in a beauty brand’s visual identity and it brings warmth without sacrificing elegance. Drop it into editorial layouts for a nostalgic pull that feels editorial. It’s equally at home on social media graphics, web headers, luxury print pieces, and branded stationery.
The contrast is the point. Pair it with a clean sans-serif (or even a mono) and the handwritten quality reads as intentional luxury, or let it carry a full composition on its own and the inky texture does the atmospheric heavy lifting.

Can I use these fonts for my logo?
Yes! You'll need a desktop license to use this font for your logo or other print designs. If you'd like to use the font on your website (outside of a rasterized image), you'll need a web license as well.
What’s the difference between licenses?
Each font license covers different usage situations. For example, a desktop license will cover the functions of most design work (i.e. making logos, print materials, social media promos, etc.).
A web license, however, is needed when you want to use the font on a website (i.e. using a custom font for your website headers). You won't need a web license if you create images with the text that you upload to your site – for example, a logo on a website is just fine with a desktop license because it's an image, not editable type.
An e-pub license is specifically for ebooks, so if you wanted to use a font for your chapter titles and publish the book to Kindle or another ebook format, you'll need an e-pub license.
App licenses are appropriate when you'd like to use the font as non-editable text in an app. Note: this does not cover print-on-demand or customizable design apps (i.e. Canva, Over, etc.).
How many licenses do I need?
You'll need as many licenses as users. So if you work at a design firm where 30 designers on your team will need access to the font, you'll need to purchase 30 of the appropriate license.
- App use or web use where customers can use the font to customize products (i.e. if you're creating an app or site that uses embedded fonts to customize, like Over or Minted.com)
- Ebook use
- Downloadable/customizable PDFs
- Server upload (if you need more than one designer to have access to the files, a separate license needs to be purchased for each designer or person requiring the files)
Desktop License Use includes one license, which can be used for:
- Logos
- Branding
- Non-editable Invitations
