Humor Sans Font

About Humor Sans

Humor Sans is a handwritten sans-serif typeface created by developer and hobbyist ch00f (Mike), crafted by tracing letterforms directly from Randall Munroe's xkcd webcomic strips to faithfully capture the artist's distinctive informal handwriting style. The font is all-caps by design, with lowercase keys producing alternate glyph variants to simulate the natural variation of hand-lettered text. Best used at 12–14 points, Humor Sans is widely recognized as the typeface behind xkcd-style data visualizations, popularized further by its inclusion in Python's matplotlib library as the basis for the built-in xkcd chart mode. It suits informal presentations, humorous illustrations, whiteboard-style diagrams, and any context where a casual, hand-drawn aesthetic is desired.
