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

I am having entirely too much fun with this
Jeka's handwriting is very neat printing, with small letters and slightly larger than usual gaps between them. The UP is a largely paperless society, and Orandians don't actually HAVE hands (or arms. They're giant snakes, people!), but she felt that it was important that she be able to write legibly. Furthermore, it was a good exercise, first to make sure that the cyber-arms Brainy had built for her worked, and second to get used to her new arms after her transformation. It also needled her father a little, which she couldn't quite resist.
Jonas' handwriting is angular, upright, and somewhat dark. He also forms the letters the exact same way each time -- if you stacked up every single "e" he wrote, you wouldn't see any variation; and the same with all of his other letters. It's also very level and legible. Since he can interface directly with computers, he doesn't do much writing, but he thinks that he might like to invest in a diary when he gets back to his universe.
Ax's handwriting, when he takes the time, is light with gentle curves and little flourishes. It slants to the right, and looks a bit like Tolkien's Elvish script. When he's writing fast, it's a little darker with steeper curves, but still slants to the right has the occasional flourish. Both are very level, and neither is particularly legible. He doesn't write much, but you can probably guess if you squint at it for a bit. And damn does it look pretty. For public consumption, he usually prints.
Paco's handwriting is sloppy, but mostly legible. It leans every which way, but mostly to the right -- the dots for his lowercase "i"s are often over the next letter entirely. He tends to end his sentences with a flourish, celebrating a complete thought nailed down on paper. Sometimes he erases his mistakes and other times he scribbles them out.
