I made a font based on my handwriting for use in my digital sketches and e-learning.
Here’s a sample:
It’s rough and ready, a little uneven on the baseline, and limited to A-Z caps and lower case, plus numbers 0-9 and a few other characters – but quite handy for keeping things looking sketchy. (At some point I’ll make a more comprehensive version.)
It’s in a zip file. You’ll need to unzip it and install it in your computer’s font directory.
If you use it, let me know :-)
You should let us know how you made it…
My own font (called simply JRC) is in use on my personal website – http://james.cridland.net/ – and was produced using a free tool from Microsoft on a tablet Windows PC in around 2005. (Tablets, eh? They’ll never catch on.)
Hi James – I like how you use your font on your site. Free tool from Microsoft? Does it still exist? I suppose it’s now turned in to an iPad app :-)
I used http://www.yourfonts.com/
You get a template to write the letters on, which you then scan and upload to their website. Then it’s available for preview and download within an hour. Costs $10.
