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

Holly's Gnommish is rather messy - she doesn't really like writing, and since it takes a while to write anything in the language, she tends to just scrawl things out quickly, so she can get back to doing things she considers more productive. She doesn't even tend to write things by hand much, either, since Haven uses computers for almost everything. As for writing in English - Holly's fluent in spoken and written English due to the gift of tongues, and even though she can write in it, since it's not her first language, she doesn't really have the muscle memory for it, so her English can be messy and awkward to down-right illegible, depending on how much time she's willing to take on it and make it look nice.
As for Terry, he tends to write pretty heavy-handedly. He doesn't have great hand writing, but it's legible, at least. Because 2050-Gotham is a no-paper future, he's really more used to just typing then writing by hand, so he doesn't really pay attention to trying to keep things in nice, straight lines like people who were trained to write using lined paper were.
