Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, I am designing fonts out of human handwritings to install on computers. Anyone else into this topic?
Cheers,
R.

Hi Roland, welcome to Tycoon Talk.
I don't design fonts but I use handwriting fonts for my website. Hope we can see more of your designs

Well I'm sure it would save forgers and fraudsters a lot of trouble if we all gave samples of our hanwriting away wouldn't it.

It's not like what we naturally have but a digital re-interpretation or creation of a custom font from it.
I uploaded some samples to my album.

I think that you may have beaten to the idea though.

Hello Roland,

I am into fonts, use all types. Just looked at your album of font collection, very nice. Left a comment about the Handwriting font.

So, what are you using to make sure kerning pairs work and ligatures connect? That's a lot more difficult with script faces than others.

Hi, thanks for the replies!

I know that I am not the only one who got the idea about creating human handwriting fonts. It's like any other typeface design, it s just not based on geometric forms or such. But an individual's natural style of forming letters.

Well, I prefer those handwritings who's not cursive.. However I am still workin on kerning, I usually copying and pasting texts in MS Word, then check each letter pairs as many variations as I can and till I have patience...Then continue the other day.

Thanks for checkin my photos!

cheers,
Roland
