How to use it
- 1For longer text, pick a neat, open style such as Kalam, Patrick Hand or Caveat; messy styles work best for short notes.
- 2Handwriting fonts differ a lot in size. Adjust the font size so the lowercase letters look similar when you compare them.
- 3Combine one handwriting font with a clean sans serif for a friendly but readable layout.
- 4Want your text to look like a handwritten page? Try it in the text-to-handwriting tool.
Type a note, a quote or a to-do list to compare them. The more natural fonts vary letter shapes and baselines slightly, which helps them feel less mechanical in longer text.
