Gochi Hand - Google Fonts

About

Gochi Hand is a typographic interpretation of the handwriting of a teenager. The style is fresh, not like the letters made by a calligrapher, but those of an ordinary person. The text line is spontaneous but solid and consistent, expressive and works well on screen, even in small sizes. The glyphs were carefully designed with a good curve quality that makes it able to look good when printed too.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
