Making a font from one's own handwriting is an intriguing experience even if you don't go for cursive.
I decided I wanted my own (rather idiosyncratic) handwriting to use in some training materials, and an evening spent with a cheap and cheerful iPad app gained me a font to use for labels and captions. It's slightly eerie to see it.
- thechao 3y agoWould you mind saying which app? I've always wanted to do this! EDIT: especially if it supports ligatures. I have some whacky ligatures that are distinctive to my handwriting.
- bemusedthrow75 3y agoIt was absolutely ages ago now, it might not still be around (I have a feeling it is one of the apps that didn't make it to 64 bit iOS). Can't remember if it did ligatures. I will look through my purchases shortly and edit this/comment again... Edit: it was iFontMaker. And it's still around! I might have to have another go with this, because I last used it so long ago that I was using one of those rubber-tipped Wacom passive stylus things...
