# What are some handwriting creation tips?

To achieve good results when creating your own font, it is important to fill in the form(s) carefully and follow these tips:

- A thin felt-tip or ballpoint pen is recommended.
- Leave a margin around each character (extend up to the hash marks); don't draw up to the edge of each cell.
- Try to be consistent with character placement in the boxes.
- Scan in color mode at 300 dpi for the best results.
- Please save as a JPG.
