Paper Noise

Paper Noise font by Origin Type is a free handwritten typeface that solves the classic “messy handwriting” problem. Its rounded, inky strokes feel casual and friendly, but the letters stay clean, even, and easy to read at a glance. The subtle wobble in each form gives it a human, marker-on-paper feel without sacrificing clarity or rhythm across a line of text.

Using Paper Noise, this free font shines on kids’ book covers, classroom printables, product packaging, social media graphics, greeting cards, and playful branding. The generous spacing keeps busy layouts from feeling cramped, especially in bold colors on light backgrounds. For a simple pairing, use Paper Noise for headlines and a neat sans serif for body copy to keep the hand-drawn charm focused where it matters most.
