How it works
A handwriting font with natural variance, written with a real pen on a writing machine. Real mail.
Pick a design
Browse our collection of handcrafted card designs. Each design is carefully selected for quality printing and envelope fit. You can see what the card looks like before writing anything.
Write your message
Write your personalized message in the editor. We show you a preview of how your words will look in the handwriting style. Your message can include the recipient name, a greeting, and your signature.
Address the envelope
Provide the recipient's address. We validate the address to make sure it's correct, then format it for the envelope. You can also choose to send it to yourself.
We write with a real pen
Your card goes into our writing queue. A precision writing machine guides a real pen across the card stock, using a handwriting font with natural variance so each letter has its own shape. Each card is written individually.
Address and package
The envelope is addressed by the same writing machine. Your card is placed inside, sealed, and prepared for postage. We use standard first-class mail with tracking.
Into the mail
Your card is handed off to the mail carrier. You'll receive a tracking number and status updates. Delivery times vary by location, but most cards arrive within 2-5 business days.
The writing machine
This is a precision writing machine that holds a real ballpoint pen. It writes with a handwriting font with natural variance, so the letterforms shift card to card the way a person's handwriting would.
Real pen
We use a standard ballpoint pen, just like you might use to write a note. The writing machine holds the pen and guides it across the card, creating natural variation with each letter.
Precise control
The machine is calibrated to write at the correct angle and pressure. A handwriting font applied to the text provides natural letterform variation, making each card unique.
Individual cards
Every card is written individually. Your order is queued, and each card is written fresh when it reaches the machine.
