Prima09 is an edgy, handwritten font in block capitals from the Brazilian company We. See some usage examples and download the font here, free for personal and commercial use. One little drawback for Americans: Prima09 doesn't seem to have an apostrophe character, so you might need to reposition a comma if you plan to type any contractions.

Contractions are highly overrated.
ReplyDeleteWell see... Maybe Ill stop using them in blog posts to see if youll notice.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool font. I'm one who'll never use a contraction if I don't have to. Unfortunately my iPad puts em i'n for me. LOL
ReplyDeleteJesse mum
(iPad wasn't too brilliant on that one, huh?) ;)
Looks like your iPad loves contractions and hates possessives!
ReplyDeleteJust Americans? ;)
ReplyDeleteRight, Jen, because writers of English in Canada, England, Australia, various Caribbean Islands, and dozens of other countries where it's the official language never use apostrophes. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at the American comment! Too bad English outside of America! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least there would be a reminder to avoid contractions- although possessives could be irritating!
Random interesting fact: way back in Old English, possessives used to be indicated with an -es. But as the language as progressed we have dropped the 'e' and added the apostrophe to hold it's place. At least that was what my English history professor said. :)
love it! I'm using it for my New Year's card (which are getting sent out because i failed at christmas cards this year).
ReplyDeletealso, when loaded on my PC and using it in publisher I got an apostrophe.... a little bit of weird kerning, but that was easy enough to adjust! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely blog!

I'm loving all the links to free font downloads! They're perfect for newsletters and extra cutesy things like that...I've already found tons I like, and I linked you on my site so my friends could snap them up too. Thanks!
ReplyDeletelove your blog, great stuff. the fonts on the site are groovy. thanks
ReplyDeleteI feel like I just had an epiphany. I never once in my years of Spanish classes thought about other languages not using apostrophes! (Obviously I'm not exactly fluent in anything besides English; hopefully it would have become apparent to me if I were).
