I just finished a fun project. Using the free FontForge program, I meticulously traced some letters I had my daughters draw when they were 4 years old. I had imagined creating a font based on their writing back then, but did not complete the project. Recently, for some reason, I got the urge to complete them - so I did!
As fonts, these are both rather incomplete. The lower case letters are identical to the upper case letters, and there are no numbers, punctuation, or symbols. I did artificially create a period and comma for both, but that's it. Although this is all consistent with how they wrote at the time, it makes actually using the font a little less practical.
Next, I'm going to see if Donna wants me to create a font based on her writing, and when the girls turn 8, I'll do another font based on their writing.
