Nowadays, there are so many unique typefaces to choose from! If you're looking for something a little different, you'll love these whimsical fonts. Artists, designers, and crafters know the value of choosing a good font. Sometimes that means using a typeface that's loved by everyone or selecting something offbeat like quirky fonts. What is it that makes a particular font or typeface quirky or whimsical anyway? There is no definitive answer to that question as each person will have their own perspective.

We've rounded up some great options to share with you. These ten whimsical fonts and bundles have a special style that's sure to inspire your next creative project. Cheerful styles such as these are fantastic for everything from card designs to scrapbooking. So get ready to craft and design outside the box!
The queen of quirky fonts, Missy Meyer, gives us this fabulous mixed case font. Allspice features a full set of alternates that are, as Missy says, "a little taller, swoopier, and goofier." What a fantastically accurate description! Mix and match the regular style with the alternates for an offbeat effect or use them separately. Designs that use mixed case text often give off that whimsical vibe on their own. Add a typeface created with that mood in mind, and prepare to be amazed!
