Design & features
Xinye Nian is a humanist handwritten face that keeps the shortcuts and variations of cursive handwriting, with very round stroke endings that feel gentle and cute. Because handwritten fonts are huge to produce, a few glyphs may be less polished.
Best uses
Xinye Nian shines in kids and pet themes and journals and illustration lettering, and is a good fit for vlog covers and subtitles too. Pair it with a neat sans-serif: one carries the mood, the other carries the information.
