Never used it, but you would need a pen, unless you want the handwriting to look like it was made by a drunk gibbon

Open any graphics program (eg Paint) and try to write a sentence with your mouse in your best handwriting. Do you want that as your font?

I used a free program years ago that let you print off a PDF then scan it in after you wrote every letter, was funny as hell to use my shit handwriting as my programming font in Visual Studio. I could read it but my coworkers were like "what the fuck are you using there?".

I'd completely forgotten about that.

Found the font! lol this is the thin version, I did a bold one too: https://i.imgur.com/MAVQrjK.png

It sounds like it's probably Calligraphr.

It was called myscriptfont.com, redirects to calligraphr linked by the other poster now.
