My 25 Favorite Free Chalk Fonts

You guys know I love a good chalkboard free printable. 
Here are my go-to fonts for creating them, links to download included: 
{and two free chalkboard backgrounds}

25 Awesome FREE Chalk Fonts and 2 Chalkboard Backgrounds. Includes download links and examples.
I've been kind of amazed at the amount of emails and messages you sweet peeps have sent me about the chalk fonts I use. The truth of it is, I spend way too much time on font sites...looking for fun ones. I thought I'd share my absolute favorite free ones with you here. I've included the well known 'quick brown fox' line so you can see how every character looks in the font {upper and lower cases, when available}. Below the images are links for you to go and download them for your own font library.

And of course, what would chalk fonts be without chalkboard to use them on? 
There are two "chalkboards" for you to download at the bottom of this post as well. Or grab some for free from my friends over at GraphicStock here {free seven day trail going on now}.

And while you're at GraphicStock, be sure to download some free doodads and dingbats for all of your chalky-fun printables and projects, too. Click here to head over there. These are some of my faves below:

Below are two chalk backgrounds for your use {personal use only, please}. I've gotten into a new habit of just printing them and framing them plain. I found the coolest new chalk pencil that I now use on my real chalkboards as well as these printed papers {for quick signs or fun notes}. They're so much fun to use and I feel like I have a lot of control over my hand chalking.

    thank you so much for this posting, because I was looking for fonts like this but I didn't know they were called chalkboard! I kept looking for stencil and I only found one :-(.

    thanks!

      Thanks for stopping by! Any photo editing software {like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements} or illustration software will work. I've, personally, never used it, but a lot of people like the free site Picmonkey for this kind of thing.

      Enjoy the rest of your summer!

      No problem, Beth! It's something you can use in any graphic software to create these types of printables. I use mine in both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. A lot of people like to use the free program Pic Monkey that's available online. :)

    I dont understand how to use pic monkey with the chalkboard background and the fonts. I went into Pic Monkey and I tried to open the chalkboard and it said it couldnt open the file. I went over to the text tool and looked through the fonts and not sure how to get the chalkboard fonts I downloaded into pic monkey. Any one have any pointers for me?? thanks, shari

    These are so nice. It is great to hve everything all together. I have a quick question for anyone who may have done this but is is possible to turn this into a stencil? I bought chalkboard stenciled sayungs for making signs that I really like but would love to be able to make my own with my own words using these kinds of neat fonts. I figure there must be a way, I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for providing what you already have. I dont mean to sound greedy. Maybe a program or web site if you know of one. I am not exactly sure what to do with an image or printable once you get it.

      Thanks so much! I *believe* I bought them from Canstock, but it's been over a year since I posted this, so I'm not 100% sure. That's where I buy most of my stuff. I've also font some great fonts that are dingbats for frames and lines, too. Search "frames" over on DaFont for a bunch!

      KRISTI! I want to state first that I am so grateful for your SUPER QUICK response! I just happened upon your page after a google search for "chalkboard fonts" to use in Photoshop to create a "first day of school" sign for all three of my boys! Needless to say, I am so excited that I stumbled here!

      As for the "frames," the quite ones available on DaFont are perfect for right now! They work great! Thanks so much!!!

    Thank you for that wonderful collection!
    Tip for using the chalk background: I converted the pdf into a jpeg (Search: pdf in jpeg, that schould give you plenty of tools for doing so) and used that jpeg as background in PowerPoint.
