It probably goes without saying, but I love free fonts, y'all. I mean, really. My computer (that I've only had for a year) already has well over a thousand of them at this very moment. Extreme? Yes. Fun? Ummm...obviously.
And while novelty fonts aren't always my thing, I feel like there is a time and place for them. And there are a few of those mixed in with today's free Valentine fonts. The fact that quite a number of today's fonts have hearts in place of certain characters really makes me smile. There aren't many friends that I can think of that didn't use a heart for an "o" sometime around the junior high years, amiright? And an "i" with a heart dot? Yes, please. Give me allllll the middle school note-passing characteristics, please. Those were the good times. When someone finally creates a textable font where I can dot my "j" or "i" with a heart, then I will be a happy girl.

Let's first get some of the logistics out of the way with these fonts, shall we?

How to Download these Free Valentine Fonts

All of these free Valentine fonts listed out for you below are available via DaFont. I've linked each font directly to its download page on their site.

Once you click through to their site, you will select the button that says 'download' on the right side of the font's page.

Once you have downloaded your font, you'll have to unzip the file.
On a PC, right-click to select 'Extract All', and then follow the instructions.
On a Mac, double click the zipped file and the file(s) will automatically unzip. Once unzipped you can access the font's folder or just the font on its own.
Above, you can see that some fonts come in a folder and some are just on their own. Either manner is fine. If they're in a folder, the font designer is generously giving some extras or providing their Terms of Use.
I prefer the .otf or Open Type Format files if they're available, they can be resized and manipulated without compromising quality. But, they're not always included in font downloads and .ttf versions will work, too). As you can see from above, sometimes the font designer will give you both versions.

Installing Your Free Valentine Fonts

I've been a loyal Mac user for over 20 years. I honestly couldn't begin to tell you how to install fonts on a PC (sorry!). However, I do recommend this font installing guide for PC users here on Wikihow.
To install these fun cursive fonts on a Mac (since this is what I use, I feel more comfortable explaining this), follow my step-by-step instructions below:

After you unzipped your file, open the individual folder of the font or just double click on the actual font if it's folder-free. You can see in the image above what I mean.
Double click the .ttf or .otf file.

After double clicking the .ttf or .otf file, a dialog box (pictured above) should automatically populate for you.
Click the 'Install Font' button in the lower righthand corner. Your installation should begin automatically (it will only take a few seconds, total).
Be sure to check your Mac's Font Book to ensure the just-installed font is in there (they're listed alphabetically). You can begin using your new font immediately in your computer's applications.
If you can't find the font you installed within an application, shut down all of your running applications and restart your computer. Relaunch your applications.
Sometimes, fonts have a different preface before them (often the designer's initials). If you still can't locate the font, be sure to check your download folder for its full name.

More Free Valentine Fonts

As a purveyor of fontalicious fun on all fronts, I feel like it's my duty to let you know that this isn't my first Valentine font collection. My first collection of free vintage, shabby, and romantic fonts is actually my most visited font collection of all-time. It's a good one (you can see an example of many of the fonts available in it in the above title card). I have more Valentine-related fonts at the end of today's post, as well. Or visit my free fonts page for even more.

To access each one of these, click on each font name below to be taken to the download page for each individual font. Also, make sure you read over each font designer's terms of use, as most of these fonts are fine for personal use, but may have some rules regarding commercial usage. If some fonts are for demo use only, that is usually okay for personal use. Let me know if you have any questions.
