Anyone know a font that resembles chalk on a black board

Stickman · 08-10-2003, 09:45

Any handwritten looking font in white on black.

Cheers, was wondering if there was a specifically chalky one about with a chalk/charcoal-like texture.
Think I'll probably scan some handwriting anyway.

(use water colour paper - or the textured Canson stuff)

Only two and a half years too late.

Haha

superstoffe · 23-06-2006, 11:52

haha, impressive to even find this thread in the first place

to add something to the topic though; Do it yourself, its not harder than that. Either write it on a blackboard, or improvise with papermedias or such to get the texture. A roller on watercolour paper makes great "effects" for example.

I've done that with Photoshop effects...Not that hard.

Dalface · 25-02-2008, 16:08

someone mentioned that they have created a chalk like drawing in PhotoShop with filters. How?

Larixk · 25-02-2008, 16:25

a thread from 2003.
Quite an internet archeologist, aren't you?

Hunch · 25-02-2008, 22:11

Wow... Started in 2003, re-awoken in 2006 and resurrected in 2008. I guess we'll be due an answer in about 2010.

Scott · 25-02-2008, 22:32

Well, maybe an answer in 2008... try 'Chalkdust' from font-styles.com/cool-fonts-1221.html
