My handwriting has always been my achilles heel.

You should try writing with your hands instead of your heel

Now you tell me...

I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren't doing any favors either. Maybe that's just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?

oh it's actually not a font at all? I mean it's neater than my hand writing for sure. I think if you try to put a bit more spacing between letters it would help

Nowadays even Paint should have writing functionality. Or half of the viewer programs.

Yeah, but that'd look so... nonpersonal.

Your art style or your writing style? Anyways...

Yeah, I tend to search for my individual fulfillment in the square borders of the panels, that's gotta be enough.

I can read it just fine. It looks nice.

I made a font of my neatest lettering just for this purpose, so I could type in my words while still mostly keeping the homemade aesthetic.
