Hucklebuck is a retro, upright script font that is immensely appealing with its happy–go–lucky feel. Done in the style of hand painted sign lettering, the font was inspired by some window lettering on an old store near where I live. Hucklebuck was a pet name my mother used to call me when I was little (it’s actually a kind of dance).
Jukebox fonts are available in OpenType format and downloadable packages contain both .otf and .ttf versions of the font. They are compatible on both Mac and Windows. All fonts contain basic OpenType features as well as support for Latin-based and most Eastern European languages.

Is Hucklebuck Font really free?
The download costs nothing and needs no account. What you may do with the font afterwards is set by its author: the license file travels inside the archive, and it is the only document that decides whether a commercial project is covered.

Three steps, no extra software:
- Download the ZIP and extract it (double-click on Mac, right-click → Extract on Windows).
- Open the .ttf or .otf file and click Install / Install Font.
- Restart the app you want to use it in — the font is now available system-wide.
