the worst font ever

I'm looking for a terrible font for my VN, something obnoxiously hard to read (will include a more normal font for accessibility).  Does anyone have any recommendations? Would prefer something that is deliberately designed to be bad on purpose so I'm not dunking on someone's hard work

I'm having trouble finding it but there was a website where you uploaded a template you draw on to make your own handwriting font. I feel that would have tons of potential if you wanted to make an unreadable font~

I was trying to see if there was one where you didn't have to make an account, but it seems they fell to the wayside. 😅 This one works tho!

I personally use FontForge and import glyphs from SVGs I've drawn in a vector program (like Affinity Designer or Inkscape) to make my fonts or remix them if the font licenses allow. That being said, there's a bit of a learning curve to doing fonts like that compared to something that'll streamline the process like Calligraphr
