Definition:

Fantasy is a type of generic font family used in CSS for HTML fonts.

A fantasy font is one that is very dynamic and different from standard fonts. Their style is often exaggerated and more typical of posters and quirky themes. They are fonts that are not easily categorized into the other generic font families.

Using Fantasy Fonts

Fantasy fonts are best used sparingly for decorative text and headlines. They are often very difficult to read in large blocks. Also, there are no web safe fantasy fonts (unless you count Impact as a fantasy font rather than a sans-serif font).

Common Fantasy Fonts

Some common fantasy fonts include:

  • Impact
  • Haettenschweiler
  • Papyrus
  • Copperplate
  • Copperplate Gothic Light
  • Copperplate Gothic Bold
