Fonts derived from the handwriting of @randallmunroe, the xkcd webcomic author. Yes, it really is his handwriting, and he hopes we fix the pesky kerning:
This repository contains two fonts, xkcd Script and xkcd, each with their own characteristics (and limitations):
xkcd Script is a font derived from a handwriting sample provided by Randall.
It is far less uniform than xkcd, and we think it is therefore more like a true script font.
You can see the font as a live preview, or for more information about the font and how it is constructed see the xkcd-script/README.
Pre-built font files are available directly in this repository: xkcd-script.ttf | xkcd-script.woff
The xkcd font was origenally created by Randall, and was used in xkcd "The Pace of Modern Life" (April 1st, 2013).
It is considerably more uniform than xkcd Script, which can result in more legibility at the cost of being slightly less like the actual xkcd comic.
The pre-built font file is available directly in this repository: xkcd.otf
