10 Fonts That Look Like Signatures

Times New Roman and Sans-Serif fonts are decent ones that have their fans.

But let’s face it – for your personal signature, you need something more – curves, modern calligraphy style, some non-ideal elements that mimic handwriting. Whatever it is, the sheriff, ideal fonts will never give you this handwriting vibe on your certificates.

You can do it with no effort!

No external tools, no creating fonts from scratch, just a few clicks instead, and your certificate is left with an effective signature that may look like your own. Let’s move on to the details.

Why add your signature to certificates?

Before we move to the fonts themselves, here is why it’s a good idea to add a signature to a certificate. Consider these aspects:

Security 

It’s safer than you think. Particularly compared to a handwritten signature that can be copied easily, and this is one step from committing fraud. With a font signature or digital tools, you protect your signature from being stolen or changed.

Ease of use

When was the last time you had to sign multiple documents? Tiring, right? Now, all you need to do is a single click, and your signature lands perfectly on every certificate. That's the magic of a signature font. No more hand cramps or uneven signatures. As easy as flipping a light switch.

Instant, anytime

Using beautiful signature script fonts is a one-time task, but its benefits last forever. Once you choose your favorite, it's ready to go anytime, anywhere. No need for a pen or the right surface. You're always just a click away from placing your digital mark.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? All of the benefits are possible when creating the credentials in Certifier.

Dancing Script works equally well in email signatures, giving a personal and approachable tone. The contrast between its playful lowercase letters and more structured uppercase letters creates a dynamic and engaging appearance.

If you like handwriting that is clear and neat, Dancing Script is an excellent option to consider. Also, this font supports alternate characters (special characters included, both lowercase letters and uppercase ones).

It might serve as one of the design elements. This font is bold and catchy, perfect for product packaging, making greeting cards with personality, or a blog post cover.

On top of that, the font will look stunning on a book cover (or any other book design) with an author’s name written in Ephesis.

#5 Great Vibes

It’s another font that looks like authentic handwriting, thanks to the beautiful ligatures, and not only that. Its cursive letters flow smoothly, which makes certificates look elegant and professionally personalized.

But this font goes well with certificates, and it's a perfect choice for: various branding projects, luxury branding, magazine layouts, social media posts, even book covers.

This font may be a go-to option for a professional email signature or any other type of digital signature.
