Who it is forA designer, teacher or student who needs a handwritten font in Figma, Keynote, Word or similar apps.

The problemDesign and office apps need an installed font file, not a web link, to show a handwritten face in slides or mockups.

The outcomeThe Harshpreet Hand Regular and Bold fonts appear in the font menu of local apps.

What you need first

  • A web browser, or a computer where you can install .ttf font files
  • For rebuilding: Python 3, potrace (brew install potrace or apt install potrace), and a terminal
  • For a site: access to the site's CSS and a folder to host font files

Steps

  1. Open the [latest release](https://github.com/harshpreet931/harshpreet-hand/releases/latest) and download HarshpreetHand-Regular.ttf and HarshpreetHand-Bold.ttf.
  2. Double-click each .ttf file and choose Install, or copy them into your system fonts folder. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Restart the app such as Figma, Keynote or Word if it was open.
  4. Pick "Harshpreet Hand" from the font menu and apply it to a text box.
  5. Check that the calt variants are active if your app supports OpenType features, since the README says calt is on by default.

Prompt for your agent

From the release of repo harshpreet931/harshpreet-hand, download HarshpreetHand-Regular.ttf and HarshpreetHand-Bold.ttf and install them on this machine for <app-name>. Output the install location and the font name shown in the app's font menu. Verify that a sample line typed in <app-name> renders in the handwritten face.

Caveat. The README says the font can be used in personal or commercial work but cannot be sold on its own under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
