During a snow day last year, to keep my youngest daughter occupied, I thought it would be cool to take her handwriting and turn it into a font.
I have frequently needed a font that has the look and feel of being handwritten by a young child and thought what better way to have that than to have my 6 year old write it out for me. Beats the hell out of Comic Sans. Anyway, she grabbed a magic marker and the rest is history.
