Handwriting
Yes we can. Our expert handwriting team will recreate your handwriting one character at a time with meticulous detail.
Our handwriting technology accounts for human error and variation across every note making each note unique and personalized. Each handwriting style Wami offers includes up to 15 different variations of each character which are randomized across each note. If you order 100,000 notes all with the same message copy, no two notes will ever look the same.
We totally understand! We offer multiple, unique house styles to choose from in addition to offering personalized digitizations. Additionally, we offer signature digitization services which can be combined with any of our house handwriting styles.
Wami currently supports English only handwriting styles. We can digitize other languages but they have to be based in English characters.
