25+ Awesome Chalkboard Fonts, Effects, and Mockups

Chalk-full of freebies

Trendy, stylish chalkboard fonts, effects, and mockups add a clean, modern look to your designs.

There’s something classic about an old-fashioned chalkboard. Even though conventional use of chalk and chalkboards goes back to the 1840s, use of them today is still extremely popular.

Because every designer should have an arsenal of chalkboard fonts, effects, and mockups, we’ve put together a collection of free options for you. If you want to elevate your design skills, check out our premium options at the end of the post.

NOTE: At the time we posted this article, all the fonts, effects, and mockups in the free sections were available at no cost. However, these are subject to change depending on the designers who created them.

If you want to be sure you get all our freebies, follow us on social media to get article updates as soon as we post.

Free Chalkboard Fonts

These fun fonts include all the grittiness and texture that are so common when writing with chalk.

Chalky

Medialoot has crafted this free font to give your displays or designs a fun, casual look. In the set, you’ll get all lowercase and uppercase letters, the numbers 0-9, and common symbols and punctuation.

Chalk Hand Shaded Lettering

Free for personal use, this hand shaded chalk font is loopy and elegant. We think the decorative font is perfect for wedding and other event signs.

Rudiment Font

If you’re working on a project that requires clear, no-nonsense lettering, Rudiment is the perfect option for you. The free font is easy to read, but still has the roughness of real chalk.

Cool Crayon

The free demo for this font will let you use the clean, modern script for any of your personal projects. Don’t let the coloring here fool you, when used in white, the font looks just like real chalk.

Appleberry

Recently updated, Appleberry is a shaded chalk font that looks heavy, but modern. We can’t get enough of straight, dramatic lettering of this font.

Eraser Font

We adore the texture that is so clearly obvious in this font set. You’ll get the true look of chalk lettering with Eraser Font, without getting your hands covered in chalk dust!

The wide, uneven strokes of this chalk font make it look dramatic and unique. When using this free font, you’ll feel like you’re back in school.

Clementine Sketch is a gorgeously decorative font that we’d love to see on store signs or restaurant menus. The rough edges add character to an already beautiful lettering option.

Free Chalkboard Textures & Effects

If I’m being honest, I always hated when my teachers used a chalkboard. The scratchy sounds and general mess of chalk irritated me, even as a child. Thankfully, with these chalkboard textures and effects, you’ll get an authentic look without the mess.

Free Chalkboard Background

The designer of this chalkboard background used images of an actual chalkboard to make it, so you get the real look without the hassle. Also, this is the second free chalkboard background available on this blog, so check the in article link if you want a two-for-one.

Again, the erasure marks on this board really make it unique. The marks are less obvious than other options, so you can get the effect without it being distracting.

This large, dramatic chalkboard image is perfect for your more detailed projects.

Free Chalkboard Mockups

The best thing about chalkboard mockups is that you get the illusion of a real chalkboard for your project or design, but without actually dealing with one. And, again, since I’m not the biggest fan of chalkboards, these next few mockups are like a dream for me!

You can utilize this template to showcase any of your fonts or custom designs. We love this set not because we made it, though there may be a little bias, but because the layers in the template make it so easy to customize.
