Blind Prophecy

My buddy Ryan from San Francisco alerted me to this cool new site (via google reader share function – if you use google reader, add my google ID “tyreseus” to your gmail chat contacts to start sharing with me). If you have a printer and scanner, you can create a truetype font out of your own handwriting for free on YourFont.com.

I love this idea. I’m constantly looking for realistic handwriting fonts, and now I have one that looks super-natural to me. I used the second page (accented foreign characters) to create little doodles I use all the time like smiley faces, hearts, stars, arrows and scribble marks.

Best of all, if you’re artistic-minded, you could create a really awesome font for your specific projects that is unique to you.
