Don Foster Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Is there a recommended font for VectorWorks that gives a 'hand lettered' look? I'm on a Mac. Thanks very much Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Tekton. Reputed to be the font used in the Frank Ching books. Provides quite a nice hand lettered look. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Also check out "Mr Hand" and "Heavy Hand"... Quote Link to comment
MKingsley Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 How about any programs for making your own font(s)? Quote Link to comment

wezelboy Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Tekton. Reputed to be the font used in the Frank Ching books. Provides quite a nice hand lettered look. I'm not a big fan of Tekton. It has weird vertical alignment issues in VW. Still, it is what we use. If you want to really tick off the comics geeks you could try Comic Sans. It isn't as cool as Tekton, but it does have that hand lettered look. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 or you can use: *Stylus bt *Segoe Print *Segoe Script Those last 2 one seem to come with Windows Vista I love Segoe Print! Quote Link to comment

jan15 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Kellhammer, is that "SP hand" still available? I can't find it. Not even a sample of what it looks like. Quote Link to comment

MJADezynz Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Adobe's Graphite is a very nice professional looking architectural font. We like it much better than Tekton which we used for years. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
Archeus Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Try also looking at 'TwoByFour' from MyFonts (www.myfonts.com). I've used it on a Mac for some preliminary stages of projects.... Quote Link to comment
