A PERSONAL COMMISSION
Made with care.
Used with clarity.
Does my handwriting need to be perfect?
No. Its character is part of its value. We assess the sample for legibility and agree how much to refine. If you prefer, Classic Legacy typography gives your project a polished finish without a custom handwriting font.
Can you work from old letters?
Sometimes. We first check permissions, sample quality and which characters are available. Archival reconstruction is quoted separately; missing letters cannot be presented as an exact reproduction of the writer’s hand.
Will it work in every app?
TTF or OTF fonts work in many desktop applications that support custom fonts. Web, mobile and online editors vary. We agree your intended applications and test them; optional character variations also depend on software support.
Can this be used for legal documents or signatures?
A personal font can be used for appropriate presentation and correspondence. It is a typographic reproduction, not a handwritten original, proof of authorship or a signing service. Documents that need signatures, witnessing or prescribed formatting must follow their applicable requirements.
Will my handwriting be sold to other people?
A personal commission is kept separate from any public collection. Public licensing, portfolio display or reuse of your handwriting requires a separate agreement. The agreed delivery includes the usage rights and files specified in your proposal.
Do I need a subscription?
No subscription is required to keep using delivered font files within your agreed licence. New layouts, extended character sets, revisions and additional production are separate services.
