Coding my Handwriting
Summary
This blog post documents the author’s journey of turning handwriting into programmable paths using JavaScript and p5.js. It covers building block-style letters and cursive handwriting by defining letter paths, applying Chaikin’s curve, creating multiple path options, and dynamically adjusting paths when letters join. The piece also describes a custom letter designer tool, path data formats, word assembly rules, and practical uses such as titles, diagrams, and prints.
