Make a font from your handwriting
For $9, you can have a font made from your own handwriting. I'm not going to do this, since why would I want to read something in my own bad handwriting when I could use a beautifully-designed font from somebody else? But there might be a cool reason to do it that I haven't thought of. Try it here, at Fontifier.

I kind of like this idea...I could pretend I actually hand wrote a note...hmmmm....
That's a neat tool. Thanks.
Well, presumably you don't actually have to use your handwriting. You can fill in the template with anything you like - images, calligraphy, non-Roman alphabets etc. So you could use it to make any new font you want.
I just wrote a little bit about how much I like your site on my site!

Really!!? I have the worlds WORST handwritting... how fun would that be to torture people over the computer!
Thanks for the great link!
lol, my wife could call hers "ChickenScratch Sans"
That's pretty cool, thanks for the link.
How about to capture the early handwriting of a child? I love my daughter's handwriting with the Es with ten arms and the lowercase As with really long tails.
That is so great! Thank you! (Also to noeudpap for the link.) :-)
maybe for personal journaling...
one that would be left to read by your sweet children who could recognize mom's handwriting.
I tried this awhile ago when it was free, and I realized I didn't want something in my own bad hand writing when I have access to some many pretty fonts!
I can't believe that they are charging $9 now. Oh well. I'm sure it would be cool for some things -- but not with my yucky handwriting!
I was thinking the same thing.....I don't love my handwriting more than all the great fonts out there.
You post such neat information!!
This is a great blog! I printed out those cards from the stem "template" very fun! Thanks for the interesting info. I just started digital scrapbooking and it would be fun to journal in your own handwriting.
that's kind of a neat idea. it would be fun for a scrapbook or something too.
OH--- LOVELY LOVELY FIND! :) Thanks!
What a great idea. Thanks.
i like the idea, BUT i find that other people's handwriting fonts are so much more interesting.
A friend of mine uses a font made from her handwriting in cartoons she draws digitally.
I love that!
I thought of you when I saw this T Shirt on sale- just like you hoped!(It's the Tangy Orange Flvr one from JCrew)

Oh, man! The moment I've been waiting for! But they only have XS left. NOOOOOOOOO!
This would be a cool idea....IF I liked my writing (: I'd probably look at the font and think "Agh, who would use that? (: But there are some peoples writing that I love!
i think it would be fun to make a font of my daughter's handwriting. i could use it to make cute birthday invitations, thank you cards, etc. for her. love your blog!
Very cool. I am going to make up some reason for needing this.
I did it.
Of course i paid the money!
I'll check out some of the free stuff now.
If someone is still in school and has a mean teacher whip makes them write it out again if its not neat, this could work... :)
