43 Best Fonts for Wood Burning (Fancy, Easy Wood Burning Letters)

If you're just getting into pyrography and want to add text to your projects, you'll need a good wood burning font. Of course, the style of font you choose will depend on how you intend to use the text.

Today we'll cover 43 of the best fonts for wood burning available at Envato Elements and GraphicRiver. Take a look and see which ones would work best for your project. 

The Best Way to Burn Letters Into Wood

Burning letters into wood (also known as pyrography) is a wonderful craft project to try. It's quite a simple process, and you can get some amazing results.

The best way to burn letters into wood is to start by designing your text on the computer. In this article, I'll show you a range of fonts you can use, from simple, blocky sans serifs that are good for beginners to complex decorative fonts that will present more of a challenge for experienced designers.

Once you've selected your font and set up your text, simply print it out on a plain sheet of paper. Then place the paper onto your smooth, sanded block of wood, with a sheet of carbon paper underneath, and use a pencil to trace your design onto the wood. When you're done, break out your woodburning tool and begin carefully burning your design into the wood.

Remember, you are literally playing with fire here, so be sure to use the proper safety equipment and keep your space well ventilated. If you follow the right process, though, you should have no problem creating a beautiful design. Just choose a wood lettering font from the selection below, and get started!

11 Sans Serif Easy Wood Burning Fonts

If you're just getting started with pyrography, these easy wood burning fonts are perfect for you. They're simple, blocky, wide sans serif fonts that will be easy for you to burn into your wood. No tricky serifs or decorative elements to worry about!

VICTORIA Wood Lettering Font (OTF, TTF, WOFF)

Let's start with a clean and simple sans serif. Victoria Sans is a stylish, modern font that will be easy to burn into wood and will create a striking effect. It's designed to be used in all caps with a wide-set spacing, so you've got plenty of space to get used to the process!

Vengeance (OTF, TTF, WOFF)

Do you want Vengeance? This elegant sans serif comes with seven different weights, so you can play around and get just the right look for your wood burning project.

Berlin Wood Burning Font (EOT, SVG, TTF, WOFF)

If you're just getting started with wood burning, a minimalist font like Berlin is ideal. Wood burning big letters is much easier than trying small, fiddly designs with lots of details, so Berlin is the perfect place to start.

Aurel (OTF)

If you're looking for easy wood burning letters that are clean and stylish, Aurel is a good choice. It's open, modern, and wide-set, but it has that touch of irregularity too. And there are four weights and four italics to keep things interesting.

Branden (OTF, TTF)

Branden is another font that looks quite plain at first glance but has some great design features that will give you a great end result. Contrast the capital "R" in this font with the "R" in Aurel above, for example. Those are the little details that add up to a successful design.

Cremona (OTF, TTF, WOFF)

Try Cremona if you want a wood lettering font with classic appeal. There's a touch of Art Deco to it, and the variable stroke width gives it an extra dimension compared to some of the simpler fonts we've looked at so far.

Anzil Wood Burning Big Letters (OTF, TTF, WOFF)

With its squared-off, blocky characters, Anzil Sans Serif is a great choice for those looking for easy wood burning letters to get started with. If the wide-set capitals don't work for you, then why not experiment with lowercase letters or try out the five different weights?

Brotherton (OTF, TTF, WOFF)

The great thing about Brotherton is the inclusion of outline versions. As you can see from the preview above, you can get some great effects by combining the regular and outline fonts in a single word. How would you use this feature in a wood burning project?

Effren (OTF, TTF, WOFF)

Here's another classic, timeless sans serif. Effren has a powerful impact, while still being simple enough for you to use as a wood lettering font even if you're just starting out. Give it a try!

Balmond Modern Ligature Sans Serif (OTF, TTF, WOFF)

Balmond is not quite as simple and plain as some of the other examples we've looked at. There's a bit more variation in the stroke width, for example, so this could be a good font to try before jumping into the serifs below.

10 Serif Fonts for Intermediate Pyrographers

Can you see how the best fonts for wood burning can vary so much depending on your skill level and what you want to create?
