You can do this yourself at https://www.calligraphr.com/en/. I spent a long time fiddling with mine to get it to look better, but you can get pretty good results fairly quickly. You just download a template, write a letter in each box, scan and upload it back to the site, and then make size and baseline changes as necessary. And it's fun! And efficient! Just think how many thousands of "personal notes" I can mass-produce now! I'll never have to handwrite a thank-you note again! :)
Shouldn't it be MarilynHand Neue?
ReplyDeleteI did consider it, but then feared that "Neue" had some special meaning to FONTOGRAPHERS that I didn't know and would be shockingly WRONG if I used it.
DeleteCan you control the kerning beyond ligatures? The ee ligature is strange up against the p, and the con has an extra space before the v, etc. Do you have any control over that part?
ReplyDeleteThere you go about kerning again. Yes. I can control it, although I will have to RE-download the font after I fix it. I should have had you look it over after I was working on it (for hours) yesterday.
DeleteThat is really cool!!!! And so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteMy niece once told me about this. The hard thing for me is that my letters connect so frequently in writing that it is hard for me to write a single letter and feel it is a proper representation of my writing. Hmm. But my kids would love it so we will need to do it. Also, the very special personal letter reminded me of a glorious form letter Mike created to help his siblings (all in jest) write more regularly to their parents when they were on a mission. I will have to find it and share!
ReplyDeleteYes! Mine didn't look as realistic without the "ligatures" (those parts of letters and words that connect). But I really must read Mike's mission form letter. Maybe I can use it in writing to my nieces and nephews! :)
