A little old to pass the time. Vector drawing class last year, aim to create and submit a typeface based on his writing. Mine is very comic book I found, which is not displease me. And I like quibbling, I even create ligatures. I realized it had no recement ampersand (shame), but as the characters plot were originally imposed, and despite all my love for this wonderful typographical sign I draw very badly freehand, I forgive myself.
Below I replace the little blurb not very readable image.
"My handwritten typography stands out in particular on two criteria: its strength and clarity.
Its dynamic nature, which may also involve its full and loose, results from the initial work of making felt. From this work, is a phenomenon that is found almost everywhere due to the rapid movement of the hand and the thickness of the felt, there, most of the time at the end of the line, an "accident" appears to be primer loop. This
participates fully in the general dynamism. Other details also affect the dynamic aspect. You can stop for example the letter F, in which the dynamism is felt particularly by the central bar, which ended in a point, gives the impression of having been drawn from a sharp blow (as the characteristic one finds in many other elements). In the letter O is the change of line thickness and the fact that it is not closed, which gives a dynamic impression. These features give the whole a family resemblance with the fonts used in the comics.
The readability of my characters is an asset, especially in the context of continuous use, as is precisely the case in the comics. For the sake of clarity this emphasize, ligatures were added to the basic characters, not to disturb the eye in reading by an overly hazardous or unsightly overlapping letters. The most obvious example being the double ligation for T, which created far too large for white balance of typography. "
