About Shantell Sans Font
Shantell Sans is a handwritten script font from Arrow Type, designed by Stephen Nixon, Anya Danilova, and Shantell Martin. This Regular-weight typeface features 1,805 glyphs and supports 395+ Latin-based languages, making it accessible for global design projects. Its authentic handwritten character works beautifully for greeting card designs, creative business branding, product packaging labels, and social media graphics where a personal, sketch-like touch adds warmth and immediacy without requiring manual lettering.
With a generous glyph set, you can access a wide range of characters and symbols, giving designers flexibility in their typographic choices across different projects and languages. Whether creating DIY stationery suites, designing visual identity systems for small independent brands, or producing hand-lettered style artwork, Shantell Sans delivers the organic, hand-drawn aesthetic that resonates with contemporary design sensibilities. A casual, approachable quality makes it equally at home on product labels, artist websites, or craft packaging.
Available free for personal and commercial use, this typeface removes licensing barriers while maintaining quality and professional appeal. For best results, pair Shantell Sans with a clean, geometric sans serif for body copy or secondary headings, allowing the handwritten style to shine in display contexts where its organic character becomes the focal point of your design.
