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

Wyn writes very quickly, usually while doing something else at the same time-- and it shows. She tends to write in a sort of half-cursive scrawl, connecting some letters and leaving others free, and it's
occasionallyoften completely illegible to everyone but herself. ... kind of like the way her brain works, actually, as she tends to look at things sideways, and her leaps of logic can be completely incomprehensible at times.Hunter at least makes an effort to have his handwriting be legible, which is more than I can say for Wyn. It might be more work for him, but it's less work for everyone else. (He's too polite for his own good, to be honest.) Despite his best efforts, though, he tends to scrawl a little bit, and he's got doctor's handwriting without having a medical degree.
Marcus, oddly enough, has the neatest handwriting of my three characters. He uses very plain, straightforward all-caps, which suit his personality fairly well. (He's not a super-complicated guy, really.) His handwriting's not quite precise enough to be machine-writing, but it's close.
