Handwritten Fonts

One of the things I enjoy doing while sipping on a hot cup of coffee is making my own handwritten fonts. It reminds me of all the lettering I used to do during class when I was still in high school. My planners used to be splashed with random quotes and words written in all sorts of fun and fancy lettering.

I do not consider myself a letterer, much less a calligrapher. I just do it for fun. Lately though, I’ve found my favorite writing implements. I love myself some Micron Archival Ink Pens, Sharpie Stylo, Sharpie Brush Pens, Chisel Tip Sharpies, and a fine tip Aquash Waterbrush for my meager watercolor skills. Maybe I should put skills in quotes.

As you can see, I love Sharpies. I actually have a hundred markers in my personal collection. There’s nothing wrong with that. When I learned about the brush tip ones, I knew I had to get myself a set. Or two. Just in case I wear out the tips of the first set. This is what you call rationalization, methinks.

I scanned my doodled alphabet, and quickly made a new font out of the letters.
