21 Heads

21 Heads font by Heather Daniels is a free cartoon dingbats typeface packed with hand-drawn faces that feel like they’ve been ripped straight from a sketchbook. Each head has its own personality—wide-eyed, grumpy, starstruck, sly—inked with scratchy lines and bold shadows that pop even at small sizes. Instead of letters, you get a cast of 21 expressive characters you can drop into layouts in seconds, no illustration skills required.

Using 21 Heads, you can instantly add attitude to zines, stickers, comic panels, social posts, posters, and classroom worksheets without overworking your color or layout. This free font works beautifully alongside a simple sans serif for titles, letting the heads act as quirky icons, borders, or section breaks. Scale them up as focal art, or sprinkle them in at smaller sizes as reaction faces to give your projects a loose, playful, hand-drawn edge.
