As a sequel to my other thread 'Small fonts' i come again asking for typographic contributions from you guys.
I would really apreciate if any of you could send me (sergiorg@mac.com) or point me to an url where i can get fonts that looks like hadwritten. Sort of like to give a 'personal feeling' to some text.

Thanks in advance.

Handwriting fonts on a whole look pretty cheesy if you ask me. Roll your own is the best policy i think. (or get a friends handwriting) more of a pain in the ass but it brings much more 'handwriting' variables that a font just can't replicate.

You're right about that, real handwriting would produce a much better effect (not mine anyway 'cos it sucks) but still a font would help in certain ways to express a different concept that other more traditional types, so if anybody have some of these, send them out.

Thanks.

There are plenty here. Check out their font archive. You'll have to look for the handwritten ones, there's a lot here to dig through.

Cheers
