  1. Many of the times, we think some innovative ideas for exposing most important elements on the web page/website in an attractive look so these fonts can able to fulfill this need by using handwritten fonts for some special elements like to give title to the offer on the site, in content for highlighting title of the important notes and points etc.

Can I also recommend Cinnamon Cake (http://www.dafont.com/cinnamon-cake.font) and Hanna Handwriting (http://www.fontpanda.com/1/post/2012/08/download-hannahandwriting-font-for-free.html). The latter was made at FontPanda.com for free. Awesome site design by the way!

    Thanks so much! These are great. I grabbed a few of them. The only one that gave me trouble was Worstveld. My computer said it was dangerous. ? I am a bit of a newcomer though, so this may not be as scary to everyone else as it was to me. :)
