Create your own digital handwriting font.
BY NATALIE ZEE DRIEU

In my youth, I loved everything about the art of writing, spending hours improving my handwriting and even learning the art of calligraphy. Even today, I have nice penmanship, but oftentimes jotting down a quick note ends up as an illegible nightmare. I’m out of practice! Like most people these days,

I spend way too much time typing on a keyboard rather than
writing with a pen. But we are living in the digital world, right?

Enter the Fontifier ( fontifier.com), where you can create a digital typeface from your own handwriting. For $9, you’ll be able to add a personal touch to your digital photos and craft projects without lifting a pen. I’ll be the first to admit my handwriting is no art form, like others I know, but it’s mine with its own special curves and curls.
