Handwriting
A pen writes the text in single strokes, slowing in tight curves where the ink pools and drying from wet sheen to rest colour; a faint sheen drifts over the dry ink. Use for signatures, titles and invitations.

Handwriting writes your text with a pen, stroke by stroke, the way a person would. The ink goes down wet and glossy, then dries to its resting colour, and a faint sheen keeps drifting over the dry lines.
How it works
Each letter is followed as a single pen line, not filled in from its outline. The pen moves like a real hand: it slows down in tight curves and speeds up on straight runs, so the ink looks heavier where the pen lingered. A small glow sits at the pen tip while it writes.
Settings
- Pen weight sets how thick the line is.
- Ink is the dry colour, Wet ink the colour while it is still fresh, and Drying time how long the change takes.
- Sheen sets the soft glint that drifts over the dry ink; Pen glow the light at the tip.
- Font: the handwriting faces suit it best, such as Caveat, Dancing Script, Satisfy, Pacifico or Kalam.
- Draw defaults to Pen; Erase can fade, reverse the writing, wipe or cut it.
- Loop, Yoyo and Hold replay the writing on a cycle.
Use it for
- Signatures and personal notes
- Wedding, invitation and greeting scenes
- Elegant titles that write themselves in
Ink Bleed adds paper and feathering ink to the same idea.

More text
Ink Bleed
Fountain-pen ink soaking into fibrous paper: a wetting front feathers along the fibres, dye separates into a coloured fringe and dries to a darker rim. Use for letters, journals and artisanal titles.
Chalkboard
Single-stroke chalk on slate: pressure-dependent deposit on a fixed grainy board with powdery halo, falling dust at the pen and a felt-smudge erase leaving ghosts. Use for classrooms, menus and hand-made titles.
Fourier Sketch
Each letter is traced by a chain of rotating circles whose radii are its Fourier coefficients; more terms sharpen the form, and glints keep circling the finished contours. Use for science, math and generative titles.
Light Painting
A long-exposure photograph of a handheld light writing in the dark: trail brightness follows 1/pen speed, colour cools from hot to warm, and a sparkler throws ballistic sparks. Use for night-photo titles, signatures and festive reveals.
Neon Tube
Letter outlines as glass neon tubing: a gas discharge ignites each contour, stuttering before it settles into a steady hum with slow breathing and the odd micro-dip. Use for signs, nightlife and retro titles.
Plain
Flat solid text from the font outlines with a weight axis, an optional outline and soft edges, anti-aliased from a signed distance field. Use for labels, captions, prices, menus and titles.
Works well with

Warm reddish-brown cherry wood with a smooth finish. For traditional furniture, cabinetry and warm interior scenes.

Soft painterly clouds with delicate brush work and subtle pastel colors
EffectRosewood
Deep wine-red rosewood with a smooth half-sheen. For luxury furniture, instruments and rich, dark interior scenes.
WoodSilk drape
Drop a silk sheet over a 3D object that drapes and collapses as it vanishes. Reversed, it is the magician-style unveiling.
