Handwritten Type

Through identifying the 'hand written' appearance of the heading type that is used on the Mind website this is an aspect of the charity that could be included in the outcome. Through having an understanding of handwritten type, it can be seen to add personality to a design as well as making it a more trustworthy and engaging piece. This style of type has been identified in the Wear Your Label products as well as the Mind advertising posted on social media. 

Rather than downloading an existing typeface that takes on the qualities of handwritten type, I have downloaded a handwriting practice sheet. These are sheets typically used to help children when they are learning to write however they have been used to assist my learning of how to write with a wacomb tablet. 

Following the outline of the practice sheet, the following letters and numbers have been produced as type. This is a detail that will be explored when putting the designs together.
