Hand Lettering vs Hand Writing Fonts

[Gare]

Then, handrawn, perhaps you could begin a dialog with the rest of us why you don't use handwriting typefaces, and prefer to hand-letter?

Blambot is a terrific resource for cartoon strip typefaces, and I've digitized my own handwriting and block lettering and use these fonts.

Even if you have your own reasons for hand-casting text, I'm sure you have preferences in execution you might share: do you use a tall or a short x-height for lower case letters, do you stick to one member of a family, or do you have a set of bolds and italics in your head? Stuff like that?

Typography combined with dtp I think is a rich area that wouldn't tire for quite a while as a thread, IMO.
