One of my favorite aspects of creating Doodle Notes is sifting through and choosing awesome fonts and fun new clip art. I’ve shared some of my personal favorite fonts to use a while ago, here, but wanted to share some new finds!
It’s important to remember not to use too many fonts on one page. It can create a busy page that doesn’t draw in your students.
A good rule of thumb when creating a doodle note sheet is to choose just two fonts. It’s good to use one fancy font (preferably one they can color), and one basic font. This will help your doodle notes look aesthetically pleasing; your students will love them!
Stick to key words and ideas for the fancy fonts and ones you color in, so they stand out in your students’ brains. We don’t want them coloring all day to fill in every less significant word on the page!
Be sure the basic font is readable. Fonts like Century Gothic and Berlin Sans work well here.
I’ve recently spent some time searching through some new, free fonts. I am sure you will love them. I’ve separated them into two different categories below: fancy and basic. Hope you enjoy!

Also, keep in mind that most of these fonts are free for personal use only. Be sure to read the license if you plan to use one for other projects!
Cool fonts can transform your Doodle Sheets into a work of art that your students want to reference for themselves, and show off to their friends over and over again!
Remember to upload your Doodle Notes to the Share Zone, so we can all see your creations!
