I looked through several fonts to find the right one. I knew that I wanted the writing to look childlike, because Meep isn’t supposed to be very old and I wanted it to almost seem as if he had written the thing himself. I also thought that perhaps if the children could see that it had been written in a font similar to theirs that it might mean they could relate to it more, because it would familiar and it would be easy to read.

These are all the different fonts I tried out. The first couple I quite liked because of the crayon style that they have to them, but I feel like they are too thick and when I tried to make the text bigger the colour started to blur and it felt too messy. The fourth font which almost seems outline I tried against the background and it again felt too messy and dark. When I changed the font colour it just didn’t work, because the darkness of the font made it too murky.

Finally the last font is the one I went with. It is called DSNet Child Font, and I liked it the best because of the thinness of the text and the fact that despite this it does still look handwritten. I felt like it fitted the best and that it would be the easiest for the children to read from.
