Making a font of my handwriting

They say that you remember more when handwriting than when typing. I believe that. One thing I have wondered about is what if you write on a tablet and then it digitizes your handwriting. Do you still get the same benefit, from the process of having handwritten it?

I would think that part of the value would be in seeing the information written in your own handwriting, which makes me suspect that having a font like this that you could digitize into might be better than writing by hand (whic probably provides some of the memory boost) and then digitizing into a traditional font.

This is not a humble brag by any means, just sharing my experience

I type 121 wpm and I simply can’t concentrate when writing by hand

It’s too slow and instead of focusing on formulating my thoughts or capturing what’s being said I get super fidgety

Not to mention my handwriting stinks

For me it’s a lot easier to remember when I’m fully immersed and processing ideas vs tediously writing

I do think this is probably just lack of handwriting skill - I definitely learned all this in school and took handwritten notes most of my life, but I suspect I never did it right back then

Your handwriting skills are due to lack of practice. You weren't born typing at 121wpm.

I prefer typing for anything longer than a few words. But I can't type a picture (despite things like Mermaid and PlantUML) being useful.

I make extensive use of paper (and whiteboards if I'm sharing) for making pictures, mostly graph-like things such as flow diagrams, sequences, ERD etc. I feel somewhat "disabled" if I'm forced to just screen technology to do it (although Excalidraw is pretty good).
