I had a go at making my own font for this book by using the scanned in image of the style I wanted:
Using Photoshop I made each letter larger like so:
I then used a website called My Script Font to turn it into a working font, using their template and applying the letters to it. This is the result on a mock up front cover for Speck the Sphynx Cat:
I’m not 100% happy with the way it turned out as the ‘p’ is faded along the top and some letters are cut off such as the Y. I could correct these letters but I tried the font on the inside pages and it didn’t have the same effect as using ‘Verdana’ which seems more picture book like. I could use this font for the front and back cover only but then there would but inconsistency and it would look slightly odd.
I had the idea of using Verdana mainly throughout but the Speck font on speech bubble text. I could correct my font and try this to see how it goes.
