The Handey Font Family includes 8 different variations. The first two are full color fonts. What are full color fonts? They work just like regular fonts, except they are in full color! Because it's a newer format, not all programs work with full color fonts. Here is a short list of programs that currently support them:
- Photoshop CC 2017 and newer
- Illustrator CC 2018 and newer
- InDesign CC 2019 and newer
- QuarkXPress 2018 and newer
- Pixelmator MacOS 10.14 and newer
- Sketch MacOS 10.14 and newer
- Affinity Designer MacOS 10.14 and newer
- Paint.NET - Windows Only
- Some web browsers including Microsoft Edge, Safari and FireFox
Full color fonts are quickly being adopted across the industry, however, so the list is sure to grow.
For more information about full color fonts, check out this helpful website with tons of info.
The other 6 variations of Handey are traditional fonts that work with any program. They each consist of a pair of outlined and inlined versions. One pair is a long arm design with letters, one is a long arm design without letters, and the final pair is a short hands-only version.
Try using different Handey fonts for different design applications. The long version with letters is great for easy to read designs, while the short hands are great for spaces that need a wide, short area with a simple visual impact.
You can also try stacking Handey fonts in different ways for some unique effects:
