Neythal Font

Neythal is a handwriting font that adds the feeling of authentic handwriting to your texts. It combines a mischievous spirit and cheerful style. Its playful letterforms can be use to make classically modern designs and typographical stuff. Neythal typeface exudes delight and happiness. It fits everywhere, graciously. It is perfect for a variety of designs.

Fun fact about the name of the font: Neythal is a Tamil word and it's the word for seashore and adjoining lands. I love places with lovely seashore, very much.
