Design rules
- Text: Use a handwriting font about 20% larger than you would a normal font; script reads small.
- Numbers: Write numbers in the same hand and underline them with a red stroke.
- Bars and rings: Use slightly thick lines as if drawn with a pen.
- Photos: Add a white border and a slight rotation like a taped-in print.
- Lists: Use hand-drawn square boxes and a red tick for done.
Do
- Rotate one element by 2 or 3 degrees for a natural feel.
- Use pen blue as the main ink.
Avoid
- Do not mix several handwriting fonts.
- Do not use it for very small text.
Wallpaper and icons
Paper texture, dotted grid or a desk photo.
Hand-drawn doodle icon packs.
