Font Me Baby

My brother sent me a link to a site where you can make your own handwriting fonts, for free! How freaking awesome is that?

Here’s what mine looks like:

It’s ridiculously easy. All you do is download the file,

And fill it in!

There’s even one for any unusual symbols you might want to use.

Then, you scan and upload it to the website. At the moment, there are “45 font generation tasks are currently in the queue.” I constantly hit refresh but I’m not a very patient person, it turns out.

Once it loads, you get a preview of what your font looks like.

As you can tell, my “y” and “2″ are terribly large. My period is also a bit out of wack. But it’s still a pretty cool experience, having your handwriting on your computer.

Just in case you have a very messed up desire for a messy handwritten font with accidentally oversized letters, you can download my font here. It’s creatively entitled “Ania”. If you make one, send me it! I love using fonts and I’d love to see your handwriting.
