Made a few tiny fixes to the font :>. Some letters were too uneven, did a bit of kerning(i literally learned what that meant yesterday haha~) too!

It is strange to have a font of my own handwriting.

OK, so when I rly get into something, I get into it and I can't stop. So I re-drew the font entirely from a hand-drawn scanned image (first font iteration was drawn by hand, but with a pen tablet digitally).

Result is a bit more natural, just cause my writing varies a tiny bit on paper than with the pen tablet. Also means I need to make a bit of letter clean up, but wasn't that bad. I could have been more careful with my lines.

SO pleased with this new variation! Now I have two fonts :D haha~

@rek I want a font and engine that can lay out glyphs probabilistically from a variety of provided glyphs, spacings and kernings.

@rek i've seen one font that did some opentype features magick that made repeated glyphs vary in a word, so it looks very very real. i don't know how it works, but i once wanted to do something similar for my handwriting font.

@la_ninpre yea variation would be neat! I'll look into it at some point (i kinda burned myself out doing this, so im just gonna use the thing for a while instead of trying to perfect it XD).

@rek oh yes love it, it really does have something to start on paper I find for that kind of handwriting font, love to see your process and iterations :D
