There’s nothing more personal than a handwritten letter, but few of us can find the time to write these days. So what’s the second most personal touch you could put on your correspondence?

A handwritten font in your own handwriting. It’s also perfect for digital scrapbooking, so you have the look of  your own handwriting on the digital pages.

These fonts also make cool gifts. If you can get a sample of the recipient’s handwriting, you can have a font made for them.

There are a number of online sources that make it quick, easy and inexpensive. This is also a wonderful way to allow someone who’s become disabled to be able to produce documents in their own handwriting.

You can actually do this for free. You will need a scanner to create a PDF file of your handwriting for uploading and a thin felt tip pen or marker.

Uses for handwritten fonts

Oh, yeah, there’s one other really great use for personalized handwriting fonts: holiday cards, especially for businesses! Some offices have one of their employees handwrite hundreds of addresses on envelopes around the holidays because they want the cards to have a personal touch.

Great thought, but having the computer do it for you would be even easier. And quicker. Even for households with many cards to send, this is a great way to get old-fashioned (looking) results in digital-age time.
