Wonderland Handmade Type
Fontself is a typographic project from Switzerland. Their goal is to allow people to use real handmade fonts as if they weren't written digitally. For example, the font is not vectorized, and there is a lot of each character so a character does not look the same twice. Check out their beta site to try some of the nice things they propose.
I created for Fontself a font called Wonderland, which is all handmade with felt tip pen.
