The Standard Service produces a high quality TrueType (and optional single line) font for cursive (joined up) and printed handwriting which is made from your natural handwriting.
This service only contains one verson of each letter. If you are looking for our font service that uses character substitution to add an additional element of variation to the font then you need to go to our Premium 'Ultra' Service.
By careful examination of
your writing style, and the use of our unique SPACEanchor
system which allows you to manually add additional starting
strokes to words if you need them, we can reproduce your
handwriting so that it looks extremely similar to your actual
script.
We do this by asking you to write some key words in your natural handwriting.
We also use over 20 years of Graphonomy (handwriting analysis) experience to assist in ensuring that your unique handwriting style is re-created.
There are always certain limitations when re-creating handwriting using fonts. Only one version of each letter can be used in a font, even though individual letters will differ during normal handwriting. The shape and joining strokes of a letter are dependent on the letter which came before it, and the letter which comes after. If you use our Standard Service, you have to accept these limitations and understand that your handwriting font will never look EXACTLY like your actual handwriting. If this isn't good enough for you, you may wish to find out more about our Premium 'Ultra' Service, which overcomes many of these limitations by adding more than 100 characters to the font which are accessible by our unique Scriptalizer ™ software provided as part of the service.

If you have a cursive handwriting style, which includes cursive capital letters, you may wish to take advantage of our Standard PLUS Service.
When we create your handwriting font we will select the capital letters used at the beginning of words, so if you use cursive handwriting these capital letters will often join to the following letter.
However, if you want to produce entire words or sentences in capitals, the cursive capitals you use at the beginning of words don't always work well.
After we have produced your font we will ask you if you want to add the Standard PLUS Service, where will use the printed capitals that you provide to produce a SECOND font, that will allow you to produce more acceptable printed handwriting, in capitals, when you need it.
When you purchase your font we'll ask you to provide the following characters in various quantities:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
! , . " # $ % & ' ( ) * + - / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] _ { }
‘ ’ “ ” • – — £ €
Plus the following optional characters:
¼ ½ ¾ ™ ¢ © ®
You'll be given the chance the request other lesser used characters (e.g. ¯ ° ² ³ ´ µ ¶ · ¸ ¹ º) when you place your order.
You'll also have the option to purchase 'language packs' that have the necessary 'accented' characters for various languages that use the Latin alphabet.
Notes:
~ | ` are normally used for your signature
^ is used for anchor strokes if your handwriting uses them
