Client
Email 7th February 2013:
"Hi Graham, Wow, this is amazing. Thanks so much! It
was very nice of you to create a second, left-leaning font (I don't
think I even realized that I tend to write that way). They both
look great! I can't wait to start lettering some comics with them.
I will definitely let my cartoonist friends know how happy I am
with your service! Thanks again!!"

"Graham did a phenomenal job in creating the font of
one of our company's founders. The family and co-workers were extremely
pleased with the font. Graham was very pleasant to work with and
made the whole process a breeze. I would highly recommend Graham
for any font-creation project in the near future."
Z.
Garcia -- New York, NY, USA
Note
from FontGod: This
font was a restoration project for a well renowned fine goods retailer
and based on a supplied sample from an old travel diary belonging
to one of the original founders of the company. It's always interesting
to work on a font with some historical significance for the customer.

"Graham, I don't know what to say! I am speechless!
I was crying as I converted the eulogy I wrote for her funeral into
her own handwriting. It was *amazing*. Absolutely spot on! Thank
you SO very much! I can't tell you how much this means to me and
I am sure my sisters will be just as blown away. Have a wonderful
Christmas holiday and I will be sure to to recommend your services
to one and all."
Pete
Helgren -- Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Note
from FontGod: This font was based on the handwriting of
Pete's mother Jeri who had sadly passed away several years earlier.
Her handwriting was a very unique cursive style and samples were
extracted from recipes she had written over the years. Pete plans
on using the font in a forward to a children's book written by his
mother.

"Hi Graham, Wow ... it's a really strange experience
to see your own handwriting on a computer! it's almost spooky! The
font installed and works perfectly ... it's fantastic! I use a Mac
and home and a PC at school, so I'm happy that it will work in both
places. Thanks again. I'm immensely pleased with the final product
:)"

"It looks fantastic - thank you very much! Once the
client has approved the design I will send you the completed piece.
I think Monika (the font) will find regular use from now on…
Your service has been fantastic and I hope we will be able to work
together again. I will spread the good word!"

"The font is beautiful. A thousand thanks for your
hard work. It means so
much to me to have it and to be able to use it with my kids. This
is my dad: Fred
Eager It's his work from which the font was created. I actually
used letters from one of the Write Italic books, rather than one
of the two Macmillan published books... I thank you ever so much.
Blessings"
Melissa
Craig -- Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Note
from FontGod: Melissa asked me to create a "training"
font based on the work of her father. The font included visual guidelines
for correct character formation.
6th
March 2009:
"I have just installed the new fonts on my desktop
and laptop computers. I AM SO THRILLED! Couldn't wait to try it
out, so have already sent a few emails. I have been doing handwritten
journals for each of my three children since their birth but I've
found that handwriting each journal entry can be very time consuming
which causes me to fall months behind in my entries. So I decided
typing would be a much faster and easier way to maintain their journals,
however I was disappointed that it would not have the personal or
sentimental feel that a handwritten journal would have had. But
then I found your site! This handwriting font takes away all my
worries and now I know my typed journals will still have my personal
touch and MY handwriting! I just can't believe how exact it is!
It prints out beautifully too! Thank you so much for your patience
with me in getting the scanning done, etc. I would and have recommended
you to anyone who will listen to my excitement! Thank you again!"
Dana
Stonelake -- Port Saint Lucie, FL, USA
Note
from FontGod: I love getting mail like this, it really makes
my day. It should be noted that in order to use the font in an email
the receiver must have also have it preinstalled otherwise they
see a default font. A way around this is to embed the font in a
Word document or PDF file and send it with the email as an attachment.

"Graham, Wow -- that's amazing. I don't like to write
by hand at all, but thanks to you, now I can do it by typing! I'm
sure we'll get a lot of use out of it, particularly in Sales letters
and addressing envelopes. It will give the personalized touch we've
been looking for. Thanks so much."
Judy

"Nice work! Looks great! I'm a cartoonist and have
been using a free cartooning font which, while nice, looked a bit
sterile. You can check out my cartoons at www.sportingpress.com
-- and now I'll start using my own handwriting! Your great (and
personal) customer service is much appreciated."
Steve

"Hi Graham, Thank you so much for you hard work, I
am delighted with your efforts, really superb stuff. I won't hesitate
to recommend you. If business goes to plan, and please say a little
prayer for me, I should be able to add quite a few celebs pretty
quickly, so there will be more work for you without a doubt. All
the best, and thanks again."

Denise
Shattuck -- Hollister, CA, USA
1st
August 2007:
"I wanted to let you know that I was able to get the
fonts loaded onto my PC and how very pleased I am with the results.
(I took a few days off for my 40th and had no problems getting them
loaded once I returned.) I printed out a simple nonsense line just
to see the font in print and it is my handwriting to a tee! I showed
it to some others and they could not even tell that it was printed
from a program as opposed to hand written. This is going to make
a lot of what I do streamlined and allow a lot more free time to
pursue other matters. I cannot express well enough how much I truly
appreciate your attention to detail and patience throughout this
process. I will and have been recommending you to anyone who will
stand still enough to listen!"

"Graham, Many thanks for putting together my font!
It's a little weird to see a computer type my own handwriting, but
it's also comfortable at the same time...go figure. Hopefully it
will work well in the strip. I'll certainly pass your info along
to other cartoonists who are looking for customized fonts -- you're
a real bargain compared to some of the other font-gods (demi-gods
in this case). Thanks again, Lex"

"Thank you, Graham! We shall enjoy using the new font.
I'll think about
introducing it during the upcoming Easter season. I've attached
a sample containing a scan of a paragraph from the original, and
a re-creation of it using the font. Good work, sir!... Indeed -
it looks great! Fabulous... excellent... magnificent... What's the
Aussie word for that?"
Phil
Darby -- St. Paul's Cathedral, San Diego, CA, USA
Note
from FontGod: Hmmm... let me think... the Aussie word for
excellent... now that would be "Grouse or Bonza" but you
wont catch too many people using those words these days. This project
involved the creation of a font based on the handwriting found in
some historical church records.

"Hey Graham, Sorry it's taken me a few weeks to thank
you for the font, but I've been busy playing with it! I just love
it! Everyone that I've shown it to thinks it's awesome. I just finished
sending out my Christmas cards, each one with a 'personal message'
- you saved me a lot of writing! My new font will be used quite
a bit to personalize my business. I have recommended a number of
my friends to check out your site so they can get their own font.
May your business prosper! Have a wonderful Christmas season"

job you have done with my handwriting font. I absolutely LOVE IT!
It's so exciting to see my handwriting type across the screen. I
honestly do not think I will ever hand write another shopping list,
holiday or thank you card ever again. It is positively fantastic!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!"

December 2006:
"Hi
Graham, Everything arrived in perfect order and the installation
went as smooth as can be. Your product is amazing, thank you...
You
might also like to know that I work as a translator and novelist
and intend to use the handwriting font to help me write personalised
greetings (cards, letters and envelopes) for my clients' and customers'
birthdays and appropriate religious/cultural holidays. As with many
people in the computer age, my handwriting deteriorates to illegible
after about three lines. Your font looks enough like my actual handwriting
before the deterioration to scribble that I am absolutely flabbergasted.
And there is another aspect that no one in my profession would ever
want to admit, but being able to use my own handwriting with an
automatic spell checker in the three languages (German, English
and French) in which I work, is a gigantic bonus. Once again, thank
you for your superb work"

"I am absolutely impressed what you made of my handwriting.
Thank you so much (also for not charging any extra's :-). Of course
I will tell all my (scrapbook) friends about your quality of work.
In fact I already did but now I am able to show them too. I indeed
hope you receive more orders after that."

a computer font with my handwriting has really simplified our donor

SO much for being patient and understanding with me and our situation.
I'm sure I am going to get a lot of comments on it, so I'll be happy
to pass on your website. Thanks again."
Note
from FontGod: When I asked Tammy if I could publish her
comment above she replied with this additional information which
might interest some readers.
"Oh,
absolutely you may publish it! I am just so thrilled with my new
font. I am a (hobbyist) Creative Memories Consultant, and heard
about this kind of thing through other consultants. I looked around,
and your site looked like the best and easiest to order from. CM
promotes "telling the story" through scrapbooking, and
I have a massive 12 album project (that got put on the back burner
this summer!) that this will help immensely with, so I don't have
to keep copying the same thing over and over, yet it is still "personal"
with my "handwriting"."

"When I printed out my sampling of the computer font
against my handwriting with the pen, it was almost identical in
every way (including the line spacing)! It seems weird to type at
the computer and see my handwriting on the screen and then to print
it out! I love it!! It is amazing how you can take the letters,
etc. and connect it, and it is my handwriting. You truly are good
at what you do. It has been a pleasure working with you. I appreciate
all the time and patience you took with me and how you answered
all my questions. You have saved me a lot of time not to mention
the fact that you have helped the arthritis in my hand. Doing these
scrapbooks for my grandchildren is important to me, and you have
made it easier. I enjoy scrapbooking and you have made it better
-- more fun..."
Joanne
Krause -- Jacksonville, FL, USA
Note
from FontGod: Initially the line spacing on this particular
font was too large and I was happy to adjust it for Joanne after
she pointed this out to me. Occasionally (like most people) I do
make mistakes... but I take great pride in my work and will do my
best to make corrections where possible.

"Graham - This looks GREAT. I can't believe how much
this resembles my handwritting....WOW!!!! Thanks again!!!! Btw,
I'm in real estate and it's a really good practice for our agents
to send handwritten notes, in fact, I'm at a conference where I'm
with 500 fellow brokers.... I've already referred 5 people to your
site..."

8th
July 2006:
"Graham,
I received my font just in time to address a multitude of invitations
for my daughter’s upcoming wedding. I had fretted about addressing
all of those invitations; arthritis makes writing painful, I didn’t
want to add the expense of a calligrapher, and although there are
many beautiful fonts, they seem impersonal. I addressed all of the
invitations in my own ‘hand’, with the speed and comfort
of a keyboard, thanks to your genius. I’ve been so pleased,
and have referred friends to your website. So, many thanks for applying
your expertise in an area that gave me great benefit. I don’t
use any other font now... I’m from San Angelo, Texas, and
practiced speech pathology for 23 years in our school district (retired
in May—yippee!!) I think EVERYONE with writing difficulties
needs to know about your product!"
Pam
Holubec -- San Angelo, TX, USA
Note
from FontGod: I like the satisfaction of creating a font
for a client who may have writing difficulties due to illness or
other reasons. If I can make their life just that little bit easier
then its rewarding in many ways.
2nd

"Wow! Wow! Wow! How great this is! ... This is INCREDIBLE!
Thanks. It's great to finally pay for something that is actually
worth the cost for a change. I also can't believe you are in another
country and I am doing business with you like you live across the
street from me! What a world! and What a time to be alive! Thanks
so much. I am positive you will be hearing from other family members
of mine soon. You made my day!"

"Hi Graham: You are more than welcome to use my letter
on your testimonal page. Thank you also for sending the info on
embedding the font! This excited me a lot as I send little stories
I make up and silly poems I make up to my grandkids via e-mail (even
tho' they only live 5 miles away) and Gino who is old enough to
have "collections" keeps all his Baba's notes and stories!
Now he will be able to receive them in my own handwriting! I even
send him little notes via e-mail that I call "Lunch Box Notes"
and his mom puts them in his lunch box, as a surprise. He especially
loves it, when he opens it and it says his Papa and I are picking
him up from school and bringing him to our house to have supper
with us, or we are taking him out to dinner when we pick him up
from school, or some other special thing. (He has a 2 year old sister,
so he loves it when he gets to have just "one on one"
time with us all by himself)! I don't know if any of your other
clients get as enthused as I am over my font, but my font is more
than that. It is a way of preserving a part of me that will live
on to keep memories of Papa and I alive for our grandchildren and
to record our life stories in our own writing for future family
generations... At any rate, I wanted to thank you for doing such
a great job of preserving my handwriting, before it got to bad from
my arthrititis! Have a great day."

"Hi Graham, I wanted to let you know how much I am
enjoying my new font. It's my handwriting only better. I can't keep
such nice form through a whole letter but it's easy with my personal
font. I have used it to add a personal touch to the type written
letters I send to my clients. Thanks so much."
June
Griffiths -- Bellevue, WA, USA
1st
March 2006:
"Well that was fast! Thanks! I have been having fun
playing around with the new font today. Macs do such a good job
displaying fonts and this one looks great. There are four characters
I wish I could fix (that I must have drawn just slightly off so
that they don't quite look right when used in words) but overall
I am very happy. I plan to order a script font for my mother in
a month or two, so I am sure we will be talking again!"
Note from fontgod:
We quickly fixed the issues with the font as a result of the customer
filling in several characters incorrectly, John's reply was:
"Graham,
these are just fantastic. Thanks very much for the changes! I look
forward to working with you again on another font in the future."

"Graham, I could not be happier ... Thank you sooooo
much! ... Again, you did an awesome job and it was well worth every
penny! In fact, I think it's a steal. We recently moved all of our
estimation and quoting over to PDF format files, but that doesn't
allow me to enter personal notes (as I did in the past) to address
the client in an informal manner. We've found it important to 'talk
business' when appropriate and to also keep that personal connection
with some clients who are weary of development companies. I will
be using my font to add that little bit of personalization that
certainly goes a long way in building trust with clients. In short:
You've gained a customer for life!"

"I
am a soldier stationed in Iraq. I have received hundreds of letters
from people back home sending us letters, cards, packages and well-wishes.
It was my intent to personally write each of these great people
who wrote to me while I was over here but quickly found out that
there was not enough time to properly hand write to each person
as was my intent. So, knowing that handwriting fonts were available,
I searched the internet and found Graham at FontGod. There were
others, sure, but most were more expensive and the wait was extremely
long. So I emailed Graham and within about a week I had my font
and signatures! I had a few questions along the way and Graham answered
each question with patience and understanding. I really appreciated
that ! There are a few other providers out there, but for me, I
know now that I made the right choice as I am sure you will find
out ! Now, all those who write to me get a prompt, handwritten note
(wink, wink) that allows me to thank them properly. Thank you Graham
and FontGod ! I highly recommend FontGod, don’t make the mistake
of using someone else !"

"I just received the new handwriting font today, and
it is beautiful. I couldn't wait to use it, but I didn't have any
documents waiting for just such a thing! But tonight, I found it.
I have been
married for 21 years, and recently my wife and I fell on some hard
times together. But we have made amazing strides towards rediscovering
what brought us together so many years ago. One thing she once asked
of me was a love letter. One that she could read over and over when
she was feeling down and doubtful. I had not written her a love
letter since college, and it was one of those very important tasks
I could not seem to start; the mood and timing had to be right.
If it wasn't I would just be generating a memo, not expressing love.
Tonight,
as I looked at the font, I felt the urge to write. I did it. Five
pages to my wife, telling her what she means to me. It's in my handwriting,
it's from my heart. It may not be the same as pen and ink, but it
allowed me to craft a letter that says what I meant, is more legible
than my handwriting, and that she can keep and re-read to her heart's
desire.
Thanks,
Graham. And when she wakes, my wife will thank you, too."

"Hi,
Graham! I love my font! Whenever somebody says they know somebody
that "looks just like you", the real test is if YOU think
the person looks just like you. I applied that same test to my new
font... does it look to ME like I wrote the message? The verdict?
Absolutely! I was amazed how convincing it was. It captures not
only the letter shape, but the word construction. It looks like
my handwriting! Very, very cool! My only fear: my kids will figure
out how to write notes to the teacher excusing them from absences
or something! It would fool ME, so I know the teacher would be fooled!
As for the doctor's handwriting... fear not! My handwriting was
on its best behavior for the font template! I do have bad handwriting
if I get lazy! Thanks again, Graham. Nice work!"

"My
word - you really are the font GOD! I am so happy - I have just "written"
a letter to an elderly friend who doesn't "do" computers
and gets quite agitated if I type her a letter. She is very hard of
hearing, so phoning is tricky, and her husband is poorly so it is
just fab to be able to write her a long chatty letter with all our
news, but all typed left-handed. Two whole sides of A4 with NO pain,
and it was as clear at the end of the letter as it was at the beginning.
My husband just popped in to see what I was up to, and was VERY impressed.
My son asked where his font was! (He has been told that when he can
reliably form all the letters by himself, instead of doing beetle-tracks
he can have his own font - well, he is nearly 9!) It really does look
like my handwriting, only neater, tidier and easier to read than I
can manage for any period of time. One
idea I have had already - my husband paints watercolour landscapes,
and I am always lumped with writing the Christmas cards. This year
we are going to have scanned original Xmas watercolours as cards,
all with my writing in, but NO WRITING!!!!! Yes!!!! I am going to
set up little slips of paper for my students to type comments about
their work, which I can then staple on. It will be so much nicer
for them than the last lot of marking I had to do left- handed -
the external moderator actually asked who the five-year-old marker
was - very awkward! I will also be able to make my maths coursework
look so much better - I am doing some extra sums for fun - and the
coursework is supposed to be done by hand, but I have had to use
the computer for the last few months. I will have to come clean
about how I've done it, but it will look so much better.
I
can't thank you enough - it has really made a difference to me to
be able to write properly again just when I feel like it, rather
than having to weigh up when the tablets are working best and what
else I will be needing my arm for that day. I have already emailed
just about everyone I know about your website - the rest I can now
write to!
I
just keep looking at the letter I have just produced - I am so pleased
with it I don't want to post it! I am very, very happy. With the
bestest of good luck for your business."

journalling parts of my book - it is a book that needs to be personalised

"Dear Graham, I am overjoyed to have a font that
I can now use and wanted to thank you again for your excellent work.
I began this journey of trying to get a font made of my lettering
four years ago. The first job that was done was woefully inadequate,
even with huge errors in the spacing between a few letters. I asked
the person who made my font to please make some corrections, but,
during the course of over six months, the font maker was only willing
to fix some minor items and then refused to do any more for me, saying
that I was "too picky". He suggested that I buy my own font
making program, which I did, but never could learn how to fully use
because I am not a computer person. I contacted two other font makers
and gave up because I did not get any response. Finally, desperate
to try to get a font made again, I found your web site. My first contact
with you was so prompt and you have done everything I asked. You have
been extremely efficient, skillful, courteous and affordable. I couldn't
ask for more. And, most importantly, I now have my font! I've been
so excited to use it that I spent all night creating items that I
have been wanting to work on. I can't say enough about how pleased
I am with your excellent service. I would highly recommend you to
anyone."

suggested to the giver of the gift that they should tell Bari that
the reason they required their handwriting sample was so that they
could do a handwriting personality test for her... nothing wrong
with a little white lie here and there to create a fantastic surprise.
Here is what Bari had to say after I asked her if she guessed that
she was going to receive a font as a gift.
"Hi
Graham, my husband played a part of the secret as well. Felicia
got him to give me the papers and said it was for some kind of handwriting
analysis that would tell about my personality. I wasn't suspicious
because he played it off as a game as if he'd done it too. Then,
he got the papers back to Felicia for the next part of the surprise!"

"Thank you sooo much. You were sooo timely on your delivery and
even more. I am getting ready to do a mail campaign and also put some
things together with the font. It is really cool! I don't know how
you do it, but whatever you do-it is GREAT. Thanks."

"I received the handwriting font - thank you so much! It's so
nice to be able to type in my own handwriting. I also love that you
were able to create a smiley face symbol for me - something I love
to use! I would definitely recommend you to my friends and family
- and anyone looking to add that personal touch to their electronic
communications. It was a pleasure to work with you."
Brenna Catalano -- Campbell,

"The font looks great!!!
Thank you, I will definitely tell everybody I can about your services.
You are a pleasure to deal with."

even and the font is beautiful. I will gladly and definitely put a
word out to all of the designers I know about your work."

"WOW!! Graham! Thank
you soooo much! I haven't even looked at my font yet, but, I wanted
to say thank you!! You have AWESOME customer service, and I will be
sure to tell EVERYONE I know about you! Thank you!!"
and then she wrote the following
after checking her font.
"I
have installed my new font, and I LOVE it!! It is going to make
my scrapbooking, letter writing, you name it, so much easier!! Now
I can type it, and still have a personal touch of my own handwriting(although,
I will admit, I have seen much better handwriting out there! LOL!).
THANK YOU again!!! I can't wait to tell everyone how cool this is!!"

"I got my handwriting
font and loaded it. It works in all of the applications I've tried
(& all I need it to). It also looks fantastic! You should be proud
of what you do, it's the coolest little toy for me to play with. Thanks"
Lisa Thompson -- Tualatin, OR,
USA
"I love my new font.
My friend helped me install it. I can't wait to get started. I have
sent a few friends letters because I can't believe how much it looks
like my handwriting."
Laura Evans -- Richmond, VA,
USA
"It really is amazing,
it looks just like my handwriting would if I was being particularly
careful. Many Thanks"
Charles Quain -- Dublin, Ireland
"Wow, it's amazing to see your own handwriting in a font like
that. You've done a great job and you were amazingly fast. Thank you
so much, Graham! I love it and can't wait to use it. People always
say my handwriting is very distinctive. I'm sure once they see my
new font, they'll ask where I got it done. I'll be sure to recommend
FontGod. Plus, you're cheaper than any other service I could find
on the web." Lee
Newton -- West Hartford, CT, USA
"I was amazed at how
fast the fonts were delivered and the quality. To be able to use my
own "hand writing" with spell check is a wonderful feature.
You provide a great deal to your customers."
John J. Prescott -- Berlin, MD,

"My boss gave me a
research project to find a way to have a font designed in his writing
style. I hadn't ever heard of such a thing, so I was starting at a
low point. The first thing I did
hit the search engines, of course.
I found some sites, but nothing really looked legit or had what I
wanted. Then I found FontGod. I thought, "What a strange name",
but it looks like I have what I want. I found FontGod's prices to
be very reasonable.
I requested the templates to get
started. I had no clue how to find a pen point size and had to do
a little research there. Graham was very helpful and understanding
when I found out I had an inferior scanner. The font looks great
and my boss is very pleased. I would recommend FontGod to anyone
looking for a custom font or a signature font. The service was quick
and efficient, the price is right, and I am a very satisfied customer.
Thanks again Graham for all your help!!"
Donna King -- Atascadero, CA,
USA
"As a primary school teacher, it's great to have my own handwriting
as a font. I'm now able to save time by typing in my own handwriting
style rather than using prebuilt fonts that were quite impersonal.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the font that Graham
at FontGod created for me. I had my font in my email box within 3
days and the price was great."

Note from FontGod: Whilst the testimonial below
is far from perfect, both FontGod and Brian learnt from this experience
and the advice that Brian gives is certainly very relevant. FontGod
offered to adjust the spacing for Brian at no charge. It's important
to note that this was one of the first fonts that we made way back
in 2001, and hence there were some hiccups, we've ironed out any problems
we encountered in the early days.
"I didn't go through the trouble
of making sure my pen was the right size but grabbed the only felt
tipped pen of a reasonable size I had on hand. As a result my font
was heavy, a sort of bold face. When writing it really looks like
my printing but in some letter combinations it is too close together.
I only penned a partial stroke on one letter that had to be revised
and that looked poorly next to my other letters. The best advice
I can give is to make sure you use the right sized pen. Then print
out a bunch of the templates and sit down and fill a bunch of them
in. Make sure the template you send in is exactly what you want
and if any letters need revision be sure to do that yourself. If
I had done that I'm certain I would have been more than satisfied
with the result but I hurried through it and now I don't have a
font that is as high a quality as it could very easily have been."

"I had been looking
at font conversion services on and off over the last couple years
but the cost was always prohibitively expensive. Fontgod.com's services
are not only very well-priced, but accompanied by excellent customer
service. I am very pleased with the final product and highly recommend
their services."
