I used to be a huge font geek. I would amass great quantities of fonts only to use my favorite dozen on every project… Anyway, over the years I’ve drifted away from caring about fonts—probably because I don’t do much design/publishing work anymore—until I came across YourFonts.com. The font below? Yeah: my handwriting.
It’s funny: why does what seem to pass for the height of digital cool mean taking an analog “thing” and making it usable on my computer? What’s wrong with me? (Note how I ask this on the blog so Deb has a maximum of a thousand characters to answer that question.)
Uh… you are what’s right with me?
I knew I married a super geek. But so did you, of course my geekiness is WAY cooler than your geekiness.
Deb, I thought you were going to say, “Expecto Patronum.” Matt, that is a cool site. How come you did not post the actual font file so the rest of us can write like you?
that’s fun. but are you sure you want your signature online for all the world to see?
I think it is closer to 1/1,000,000,000th of the world to see and I figured since it was so lo-rez it wouldn’t matter. But il fix it when I get home. At least I didn’t post the font for download.
Matt, don’t go using that for a flock of those fakey-personalized letters telling thousands how to grab some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Using it for *truly* personalized notes to family and friends is just fine.
John, you sent me to Google. Agreed, “cool site”.
Just as well that the signature is gone. Hi, Krista.
Deb, I knew there was something very charming about you, but I had not yet identified it as way-cool geekiness.
