Brushed Fonts

[chadnick]

Can you take a standard font, like Arial, and apply brush strokes to it, so that it appears to be hand drawn?  If so, can you please share the easiest way to do this?  It seems like the only way would be to trace over the font in order to create the overlaps and pressures that are present with hand drawn fonts.  Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.
Can you give us more detail about what you want to achieve please? A visual example is usually a good start.

Also which app you are using or which Affinity apps you have available.

Only the shape/contour of the font is beeing brushed. Is there a possibility to brush the middle?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Jordi94.

A brush texture can only be applied to the stroke, which for most fonts means it will be applied to the outlines of the glyphs. There are some specialized fonts for laser cutting that you might be able to use.

I'm not experienced with this kind of fonts - all fonts I know are outline fonts or bitmap fonts -  but I found this website that offers single lign fonts (never heard about before). I think this should be what you are looking for. But without warranty.
