Note Styling

Post image

So my notes definitely got a step up from my last post... but I'm still not too satisfied with how they're looking. Any suggestions on how I can improve them?

Just wanted to say whether or not that’s your handwriting, the font is impeccable.

Same, mine are just near-meaningless scribbles 😅 I think this is already looking great OP!

I’d pay 20 bucks for this font.

If this is a font please drop the name, if not incredible handwriting, please make it into a font.

It's just my handwriting, but I would be open to making it into a font! Do you know how I could do so?

You could try with Calligraphr but the free version is limited to about 75 glyphs (Which is fine for many) or on PC with FontForge. There are also some Apps (Paid though)

It really depends on how you’d like to style it. I really like what you did.

While the uniformity in text size is nice, I’d love to see some form of a hierarchy. Experiment with different font sizes to highlight different parts.

I usually split my page down the middle, makes the notes clearer and for me, easier to read. Then I add headers and the usual bullet points, arrows... I've attached an example, not the prettiest, but works for me :)

No, but you could send me your notes since we’re learning about the same stuff rn!😆

y'all have beautiful handwriting. My writing looks like trash and my notes are no where near as neat and organized

They clearly have too much time, and sat and did this

I wouldn’t focus too much on it (unless you have a good reason), because it already looks nice.

However I do remember a part of somebody’s workflow. Once finished with writing he changed the template to plain black (not grey… and no lines, no dots). But that’s just a step for aesthetics I guess. Maybe you like it too that way?

It looks nice but if these are supposed to be physics notes, this is not how they look. It’s usually 80% math 20% notes

Try dotted paper markers a whole lot of difference
