Create Your Own Handwritten Font

Have you ever wished you could use your own handwriting as a font in your digital creations? Well, now you can with the help of technology! Transforming your unique handwriting into a digital font is not only fun but also adds a personal touch to your projects. We'll explore how you can easily turn your handwriting into a font using a website like Calligraphr.

Calligraphr is a user-friendly online platform that allows you to create custom fonts from your handwriting effortlessly. Here's how it works:

Start with Your Handwritten Characters

Begin by creating a free account and Calligraphr will help you create a worksheet template of the upper and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation marks you'd like to include in your custom font. Print it out and then begin to fill in the template with your handwriting. Make sure to write clearly and neatly, as this will ensure a more accurate conversion.

Scan or Take Photos

Once you have your handwritten characters ready, scan them or take high-quality photos using your smartphone. Calligraphr accepts both scanned images and photos, making it convenient for users.

Upload to Calligraphr

Head over to Calligraphr's website and upload your scanned images or photos of your handwritten characters to the platform.

Generate Your Font

Once uploaded, simply click the "Generate Font" button. Calligraphr will work its magic and transform your handwriting into a digital font file

Adjust and Customize

Calligraphr offers a range of customization options to fine-tune your font. You can adjust spacing, sizing, baseline alignment, and more to ensure your font looks just the way you want it before download. 

Calligraphr's features make the font creation process seamless and enjoyable. Some of the key features offered by Calligraphr include:

• Real-Time Preview: See how your font looks as you make adjustments in real-time.
• Multiple Languages: Support for various languages, ensuring compatibility with diverse writing systems.
• Character Randomization: This feature allows you to assign different variants to each character, which will then be randomly used while typing, enhancing the natural appearance of your font.
• Adjust Letter Spacing: If you use the paid pro version, you can adjust the spacing of individual characters or designate ligatures, so character sequences will automatically convert to your ligatures, mimicking the natural flow of handwriting.
• Export Options: Download your font in popular formats like TTF, and OTF and the fonts you create are entirely yours, allowing you to install them on multiple computers and utilize them for any purpose, including commercial use.

And It's Free!

You can create one font at a time in Calligraphr's free version but are limited to 75 characters with no ligatures and you have a limited number of variants for character randomization. Otherwise Calligraphr's Pro version is $8/month and allows you to work on 20 fonts at one time with 600 characters each.

Now that you have your personalized font, the possibilities are endless! Use it to add a personal touch to creative projects you have in mind. Give it a try and unleash your creativity with your very own custom font!
