Your Handwritting, Your own font

[snkTab]

You write and scan, they turn your handwritting into a font.

You have to fill out little boxes, I would have liked to have seen them take cuts from a actual bit of text you would write.

That wouldn't be a pretty sight. Neat idea though!

 

[redeye be]

after all these years that i've been trying to write arial...

 

[munkle]

Whilst we're on the subject of fonts, anybody have a clue what font this is?:

 

[munkle]

Bumpity bump.

Pretty please, anybody?...

Oh and sorry to hijack the thread, I just didn't want to start a new one.

 

[PlaceofDis]

thats awesome, ive actually considered stuff like this before, i might actually do it sometime now....sorry munkle i dont know what font that is, but i want to know two now....

 

[Mr. Anderson]

Thanks for the bump - I'm probably going to do this handwriting - it will come in handy. I have an Architecture background so way back when I used to spend time working on my *font* - this is in the mid 80s, so it was all by hand for me back then

The trick will be figuring out which pen to use to get the right look...

And I don't know that font, btw. Where did you find it?

D

 

[munkle]

A friend showed me a sample of that font and I've been hankering for it ever since. I'm trying to design my own site with a relaxed sketchy feel and that font would be perfect. Oh and my friend doesn't know where it's from either, nor does he have any more samples

Looks like a form of Bradley Hand ITC

 

[Don't panic]

neat gizmo.
I'll consider getting it. it wold be even better if they had you write a pre-decided paragraph and then extrapolate the letters from there, so they would appear in their natural "flow". That i would get for sure.

That's the closest of come as well. It's close but not quite the same, it's not so 'sharp' for the lack of a better word.

I also tried WhatTheFont but it wasn't that great.

I've just spent the last hour and a half skimming through my fonts, and whilst I've found similar ones, I've not found 'the' one you want.

Post the sample on the Typophile site, the folk on there are freakishly knowledgeable when it comes to all things type

Here's the closest font I've found on my system. It's called Wolf Regular.

Thanks a lot iGav. Funnily enough, I was thinking of you when posting the font - in a definite macho MR font expert type of way, rather than anything else!!

Lacero good sir, you are a star. I think that font will do very nicely.

Thank you again for all the help and sorry for hijacking the thread!

 

[StarbucksSam]

That sounds like a kind of cool idea. I might have to do that. Really. I'll call it... Sam 16. LOL.

 

[MacFan25863]

I remember hearing of a site awhile ago where you could do this for free. Anyone know what it is?

 

[joetronic]

I didn't buy it, but here is my preview. I think I need to take handwriting classes. Nerver relise how bad it is untill you see it like this.

As the saying goes... you could just become a doctor.

no - its still legible

I'm going to do it soon and see how it comes out.

I Have been on a long font hunt as well, exept i don'y have a sample.

The font was called MacRadical or something like that ( i'm sure that it had radical somewhere in it)

Have you tried doing a search at somewhere like MyFonts? A search for 'radical' only brings up 382 results...happy scrolling!

I know, they're amazing aren't they.

I used to work with a guy who had a similar encyclopedic knowledge of typefaces, if he didn't know what a typeface was (which was very rare) he'd point you in the direction of one that was almost identical.
