- What pen should I use?
- Any black pen you like writing with. A gel pen or a felt tip reads best. Skip pencil and blue ink.
- Can kids do it?
- Yes. A child's kit has two sheets instead of three, and costs the same as an adult. Their handwriting changes every year, so it's worth doing young.
- How long does it take?
- About forty minutes at the table. Once every page is photographed, the font is usually ready within the hour, and we email you.
- Who sees my pages?
- A person looks at every letter to get it right. Nothing you write trains anything, ever. The font belongs to the person whose hand it is, and we delete everything on request.
- What if it doesn't work?
- If we can't make their handwriting work from your pages, we'll ask you to rewrite a page. If that still doesn't work, you get a full refund within 14 days.
- Can I do more than one person?
- Yes. Choose Two people or Family when you buy. Everyone uses the same sheets, and everyone gets their own font.
- Can I do it again next year?
- Please do, especially for kids. Each year their handwriting is new, kept side by side with the last.
A letter from Neil
Have you ever wished you had one more handwritten letter from someone you love?
Not a text.
Not an email.
Something they held.
Something they wrote.
Have you ever wondered what your grandmother's handwriting looked like?
I've always been fascinated by the marks we leave on a page.
Like a fingerprint, each of us puts pen to paper a little differently.
The slant.
The spacing.
The letters that run together.
Even the mistakes.
A few years ago, I wanted a project to feel genuinely handwritten.
With a friend's help, I created a font from my own writing.
I loved the result.
But it left me thinking about something much bigger:
What if we could preserve the handwriting of the people we love?
Not a close approximation.
The real thing.
Something their children and grandchildren could keep long after they're gone.
Their handwriting, forever.
All it takes is an afternoon, a pen, and a few sheets of paper.
Don't overthink it.
Don't try to make it perfect.
The shaky bits are the good bits.
With love,
