Chicken scratch.

My handwriting is publicly available as a font I made from scratch as a teenager, so definitely that one.

About the same here. Printing is fine, cursive.. yeah good luck reading it

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 4 days ago

Wing Dings.

Because you wouldn't be able to read it.

If I'm being aspirational I'd probably identify most with Courier New... if I'm being honest...

I haven't had to seriously handwrite anything in the past two decades and my handwriting probably peaked when I was 7.

I don't know that my handwriting is super consistent, but I think it kind of looks like Sour Gummy. Some individual characters maybe not so much, but I like the overall aesthetic.

I'm a right hander whose writing slants left. There are basically no fonts that slant left, so I guess, none?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

My dad’s handwriting did this … wrote like a lefty.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago

I don't think I can answer since equating to a font would indicate of consistency or repeatability that doesn't exist.

I'm in my 40's and I still can't decide if I prefer writing a 7 with the crossbar though it of not. Of if I should draw a 4 like a triangle on a stick or a poorly made box.

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

What an interesting question! I would have to say the closest is Playwrite Australia, due to my habit of combining cursive and print.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Mine is probably closer to comic sans than anything else I can think of.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

I adapted something like that when making my comics (I mean there's a reason they call it Comic Sans) and it has stuck.

Imperfectly scripted

Monaco, I guess?
