I love experimenting with different fonts on my computer, especially if I'm creating a special invitation. Unfortunately, there's only so many times I can pass off Comic Sans as handwriting. (Guilty!) While I think it's the closest preloaded font to my handwriting, it's already too recognizable to pass off as my own.
Luckily, I just found a new option. Font Capture. It's so easy to use: download a PDF of the font template, fill in each block with the appropriate letter, scan the sheet, and upload it as a .jpg or .png file. Then, submit the file and Font Capture will deliver your own custom font. The best part is, it's completely free! Plus, fonts work on both Mac and PC, and the site also contains installation instructions.

This is amazing!! I can't wait to test it out.
1This is awesome, and the font looks great. My only very minor gripe is that I write in a combination of block and script, meaning I tend to connect certain letters. The font can't capture that, but is otherwise very accurate.
2This sounds so cool!
3I may need to play with this over the weekend! What a great idea!
