Handwriting Font not-quite-meme

I got the idea the other day to dig up handwriting fonts for all of my characters. This gave me something fun to think about/do when I should have been tagging. /irresponsible

Anyway, these are the results of that search:



The Chief:
He's not called upon to write very often, really, but his writing is pretty clear if a bit cramped. Like most things in his life, it's utilitarian and serves its purpose.

Jack Spicer:
Jack's handwriting is a bit like him: Egotistical, loud, and with a flair for the dramatic. He writes in ALL CAPS with smaller letters where they'd normally not be capitalized. (This is because ALL CAPS is an old habit from writing small on diagrams where it's clearer than messing around with lowercase letters.) There are little flourishes in it (I mean look at the J) and he writes boldly, with big letters.

Bella:
Bella, as of right now, is completely illiterate. If she were to learn to write, it would come out very messy, inept, and scrawling. She doesn't care very much.

Grif:
Grif's handwriting isn't fancy either. Few strokes, pretty legible, otherwise not very interesting. He doesn't put a lot of effort into anything so there's nothing added on here, but it's not a mess. If it were a mess it would be difficult to read later and Grif doesn't need to make himself work harder.

Sharp Tongue:
Sharp Tongue cannot read or write either (though she'll probably learn) but has a greater attention to detail than Bella and would care considerably more. Her efforts would come out clearer.

Vega:
Vega's eleven, and he's never been schooled too hard on penmanship. His letters are basically the right shape but they slant off to the side a bit and jump around a little. It's legible but a little sloppy.

So go ahead and speculate, maybe find some of your own? I had fun. :D

Sherry's is very neat and by the book, and she prefers cursive to writing in print. Her handwriting doesn't have a lot of personality to it, and it will probably change many times over the next few years.

Being so neat, it's clear that it takes Sherry some time to complete writing notes by hand (not that she minds).
