This my recreation of my own handwriting fontstructed with a vertical line/stripe pattern (I know it's bad calligraphy, but don't tell Claude Dieterich I did it, please).
I used a fountain pen 1.1mm stroke to get my samples written down in order to have a basis.
My UC leans slightly to the left and my lc to the right; must be the graffiti influence from way back in the day. No wonder I only type nowadays...
13.09.09 alternative s added.
located instead of the long s → Unicode:017f (Alt + 0383)
14.09.09 More Latin Diacritics added.

Gracias, Señor Bolsón.
Meanwhile jinx having some trouble with the system (or is it just a déjà vu?) forgot to cast his/her vote.
déjà vu must be :D
@Frodo7 así lo llaman en la versión castellana.
It reads, flows and works like a dream. 10
Your comments are much appreciated.
I'm going to add some ligatures for the o, v and t pretty soon, but now my neck hurts & I need some rest.
I'm glad you like it :)
@funk_king I was staring too close at my screen for too long, but I'm recovered after sleeping some 12 hours. Now I'm good as new.
@p2pnut This is a very stylized version of my handwriting. It usually ends up looking like backwards arabian script because of my fast (and probably not readable) writing technique.
@Stewf thanks for the pink beauty mark.
@afrojet I used it to gain advantage of round endings to render some "blur" to the curved line: sometimes with half circle bricks, sometimes the half circle/half square one. Curves get smooth, but the diagonals still stagger. I can't always win... sigh!
@aphoria the A was my first UC to be designed and the last to be aproved: I made so many changes to it after developing the rest, but I'm very happy with the end result.
I added an alternative s instead of the long s
→ Unicode 017f (Alt + 0383)
And I also added more latin diacritics.
I think I might clone this one for ligatures: there's too many of them to make to just use some other empty glyph's position that I rather put them all together in another FS's lc & UC, so they would be easily used.
Those are very kind words.
@thalamic it might look effortless, but just by the looks. It was (literally) a pain in the neck to smooth it out selecting the right brick & line length, but totally worth it.
If you allow I'd like to fontstruct my own handwriting based on this concept (giving you the due credits of course). Not that this would come anytime very soon, but I've always wanted to digitalize my own dreadful scrawl and this would definitely be the way I'd like to do it on fontstruct...:)
They have my font, I have their sampler!
yeah! keep on rocking in the free world!!!
I'm impressed! After being away from my favorite playground for so long, I get this nice message of something creative done with something I shared. Thanks for reminding me I need my type-o-fix soon!
I won't blame work, just lack of free time.
like the terminator, I'll be back!
By the way, I have fontstructed my handwriting as well, in the fontstruction Doodley.
Write out the letters and numbers and punctuation and take a photo of it. Post the photo here. It is your handwriting, write?
capital Í missing acute...
