Your handwriting says a lot about you. Whether sloping up in optimism, straight-crossed T’s of organisation or hearts on the i’s (we won’t judge), it’s a window into your personality. Funny how so many pieces of personality seem to get lost when you take them online and there’s only so much you can express with typography. To bring that personal touch back to typing, however, why not visit Font Capture to create a computer font from your own handwriting?

Simply download the font template, print, fill in the letters in your own hand, then scan the document back into the computer .Font Capture will create a font file that can be used on any of your word processing or image editing programs. You can stick to your tried and true handwriting techniques or get creative to create specialised fonts for your own use.

While we may never be as perfect as Helvetica, bringing a touch of homegrown handwriting to our computer fonts could be just the thing to spice up invites, web design, or letters.

It’s easy as A, B, C.
