1. Write the Letters Clearly

Use plain paper, steady lighting, and enough spacing between letters. Write each character in the style you want the final font to use.

2. Scan Your Handwriting

Capture the page with your phone and make sure the letters are sharp, upright, and not cut off around the edges.

3. Adjust Each Character

Clean up characters that look too high, too low, too wide, or too close to neighboring letters.

4. Preview the Handwriting Font

Type sample words and sentences to find letters that need more adjustment before you use the font.

5. Use Your Personal Font

Use the handwriting style in notes, documents, designs, and messages where a personal look matters.
