Write your character's name

[Myranda]

Here's my name, written with Myranda's Eorzea Font: (Thread Link)

Thanks Myranda it really has an Eorzea handwriting style!

I'm glad and flattered you like the font!

But lets see how you can do with your own hand, I think that's more the idea of this particular thread. Like if you had to sign an Eorzean credit card receipt!

Even I don't use my own font for writing a signature. There's lots of fun ways letters can be combined that just can't be done while adhering to the strict rules and spacing of a font (like how in my name in 'Myranda' I make the ending stroke of the 'n' leads through the 'd' to merge into the left stroke of the 'a').

I've done some practicing with various styles too using the names of my linkshell mates, but I'm gonna withhold from posting that since it's not really how they might sign their own names. That and the thread is what everyone can do, not how many dozens of examples I can crank out :P

Wow, so tough to do with a mouse. :P

It's tough, especially since 'a' can look a lot like 's' and 'h' in certain styles of Eorzean, but I'll give it a stab (it's almost sad how decent I am at reading it now...):

Valan Aradan
Mery Aradan
Saran Doxa
Kalana Green

I swear to god this is how I'm signing my checks from this day forward.

Valan Aradan good
Mery Aradan wrong the last letter it's a "u", not a "y"
Saran Doxa wrong "h" not "n"
Kalana Green good

better than expected but.. no kiss sorry. XD

i must work on the letter "h" and "u" it's seem like a false friends (i thought it was more difficult distinguish the letter "a" from "h" and the "v" from "y")

[Cedri]

Tried it on my real name as well. Needs work but definitely signing all manner of documents like this from now on.

Legible?

[Mychael]

I tried. :P

Now that I look back with the answers, mistaking the 'h' for 'n' is entirely my fault from reading too fast. The second stroke for 'n' comes out the bottom not the top >.< Thought it was weird you'd make a char share a name with a brand of plastic wrap...

I think what got me on the 'u' is how very narrow the final loop on the right side is, plus how sharply it meets at the bottom.

I was thrown for a second by the 'd's in Aradan, until I realized you wrote it in all-caps.

No kisses ; ;

[Valan]

Need more pratice for the cursive letters and... Reading now the second name i see how the "u" it's similar to a "y". My fault
