Fake My Handwriting

Typefaces do something for me, I think in the same way that women like shoes, they make neatness and uniformity out of relatively random shapes.

I’ve wanted to do this for years but never got round to it, then my bro Chris offered to do it for me. I’ve had this file for a couple of months and was hoping to put it out at the same time as promoting my brother Chris’s excellent graphic design services.

Spratt TitleI had written out the full character set on an A4 piece of paper with a decent black pen:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890

¬!”£$%^&*()-_+= []{};’#:@~,.\|/<>?

up to ten times for each char then marked each one I prefered, scanned it and emailed it over to Chris in New Zealand. He then did his thing and sent it back as a TrueTypeFont or .ttf file, here: JamesSpratt.ttf

Windows users, drop the file into your fonts directory: C:\Windows\fonts\ then select it like any other font from other programs.

Mittelbro‘s is always open to freelance graphic design work. Hire him.

  2. Apologies, didn’t realize I’d screwed it up, thanks for pointing this out.
