• This is my handwriting

Food stall

This happens to me all the time - this person is using my handwriting font in their sign. About 16-17 years ago I made my handwriting into a pretty good font and put it up on the (at that point fairly new) world-wide web. Since then, I've sold it to various people, and made a few thousand pounds, but loads of people have used it without permission. Most of the time I just let it go - it's worth it for the amusement it gives me of seeing someone's sign or printed publicity or t-shirt in my handwriting.

See www.geocities.com/henry_bloomfield/Handwriting/ for more examples - the Penguin wrapper example is very good

    I remember when you first posted about the 'Handwriting' font and I keep a sharp eye out for it ever since.

    Me too. It must be nice seeing your handiwork (boom boom) in unexpected places!

    I wish my handwriting was as neat as yours.... I wonder what freshclaws could read into that lovely writing.
