Is Patrick Hand free for commercial use?

Yes. Patrick Hand is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.

Can I use Patrick Hand in a logo?

Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Patrick Hand belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Patrick Wagesreiter. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.

How do I install Patrick Hand?

Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.

Does Patrick Hand support Turkish?

Yes. Patrick Hand includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.

What languages does Patrick Hand support?

Patrick Hand covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Vietnamese, across 728 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.

Where can I download Patrick Hand as WOFF2?

From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is patrick-hand.woff2, and it is about 61 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.

Patrick Hand

Patrick Wagesreiter · 2011 · OFL-1.1

Patrick Wagesreiter digitised his own handwriting, and unlike most attempts at that it stayed legible — the letters are separated rather than connected, the stroke is even, and nothing is exaggerated for character. That makes it usable for the thing handwriting fonts are usually wanted for and usually fail at, which is a note or an annotation that has to actually be read. One weight.
