Come St. Patrick's Day, you may need to bring the luck of the Irish to your desktop publishing projects. These four free fonts can do that for just about any project you're planning for St. Patty's Day — and they all look good in green.

Leprechaun Hats

Leprechaun Hats

Leprechaun Hats

Leprechaun Hats gives the appearance of a hand-lettered font adorned with hats straight off a leprechaun. The font itself appears old-fashioned but can mesh well with other fonts on a document. This typeface is limited to headlines or titles; the creator did not include numerals or symbols. The lower case letters are virtually identical to the upper case forms, minus the leprechaun hats.

AL Conscience

AL Conscience

For a funky font embellished with leprechauns, consider AL Conscience. All of the upper case letters have the face of a leprechaun for decoration, while the lower case letters are similar but missing the face. The letters themselves are a little difficult to read, but AL Conscience works well to highlight small blocks of text, like in a headline. The font includes limited punctuation marks but no numerals.

Paddy1

If you're in need of a few small St. Patrick's Day images to decorate your project, Paddy1 may be the perfect font. It's actually a collection of dingbats, rather than a typeface: nearly thirty clovers, leprechauns and other Irish imagery all in one place. You can use dingbats in your text easily: just set a few letters to a dingbat font and use the images you like.

AEZ St Patricks Day

Paddy1 may not provide enough dingbats for your St. Patty's Day fun. Try AEZ St Patricks Day for almost thirty more. In addition to the standard clovers and leprechauns, this dingbat font has horseshoes, pots of gold and even a 'Kiss me, I'm Irish' sign that you can use in any desktop publishing project.

RE: Four Free St. Patrick's Day Fonts
Usually I’m a little scared of free fonts because of all the tweaking they require but this is a solid little collection. Thanks so much!
