The fonts that make it look real

The most important factor in making a handwriting generator convincing is the typeface. This tool uses four Google Fonts specifically selected for their natural pen-stroke characteristics:
FontStyleBest for
CaveatCasual, slightly irregular baselinePersonal notes, to-do lists
KalamNeat, legible cursiveStudy notes, assignments
Permanent MarkerBold felt-tip strokeHeadlines, emphasis
Dancing ScriptFormal calligraphic cursiveLetters, greetings

All four fonts include the natural baseline variation and stroke-width modulation that distinguishes handwriting from mechanical type.

How to customise your note

Ink colour options:

    1. Blue ballpoint (#1a237e) — the most common pen colour for notes
    2. Black gel (#111827) — formal, high-contrast
    3. Pencil grey (#6b7280) — soft, sketch-like appearance
Paper background options:
    1. Blank white — clean, minimal
    2. Ruled (8mm line spacing) — standard notebook look
    3. Graph paper (5mm grid) — great for structured content
Export resolution: The PNG is rendered at 2× pixel density (retina-quality), so printed output stays sharp even at A4 size.
