Designing a Typeface - Tim's Hand

To design a professional looking poster I had to also design a suitable typeface to use on titles, subtitles and any other written language. I could have used a default text that are pre-set on the software I use (Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator), however I not of them appealed to me.
This is when I took on the task of designing my own font.

I wanted a typeface that was relevant to my character and reflected his personality. This could help my audience build a rapport with my character and it would also expose my character more, perhaps making him more likeable. To achieve this goal, I decided to handwrite the whole typeface in a particular stylistic manner. The typeface was meant to look as if my character, Tim, had written it himself. For this Reason, I named the font 'Tim's hand'.
