What a perfect way to add a personal touch to your communication, be it print, direct mail or online. Your own handwriting captured in a TrueType font, compatible with almost any computer system. To create a font you visit the Fontifier website, print out an alphabet template, fill it out letter by letter, and submit a scanned version using the company’s website interface. You’ll get a chance to preview the final product before buying. Here are some unusual applications from the developer’s website:

• Add a personal touch to journals and scrapbooks.

• Create fonts as a record of a child’s handwriting through different ages.

• Add a personal touch to letters and emails.

• Create fonts as a fun and educational activity for children.

• Try out unusual alphabet designs and calligraphy.

• Create fonts of runes and other secret writing systems.

• Create a font of special symbols; eg yachting symbols.

Copies&Ink would be happy to support your personal font in any print project we produce for you. Check it out! and thanks, Lynn for the tip.

    I much enjoyed this! I would have to say this is an awfully informative post that deserves mentioning elsewhere. This is for 2 types of people:current writers who are considering a independent job,and people trying to pick to become a writer.
