## What is Pawstroke?

Pawwriting is not an app for picking a font.
It is an app for making a hand that writes for you.

Type something and it writes hiragana, katakana, kanji and
the alphabet — all in the same hand, a little different every time.

■ Move the cat's paw
Move the paw around the pad and the handwriting changes.
"fluffy", "blocky", "rolly" — every word on the pad is written
in the hand that it describes, so you can see where to go
without reading a single instruction.

Put the paw between two words and the two hands blend.
Tap "let the cat wander" and the cat walks the pad on its own,
finding hands you would not have thought to look for.

■ What to write with
Gel pen, brush pen, ballpoint, chisel tip.
Entry and exit strokes, double lines, the dry edge of a flat nib.
Each pen gives the line a different character.

Five finishes: plain, outline, shadow, offset and puffy.
Five colour pairings to choose from.

■ Rewrite just one letter
Tap a letter you don't like and only that one is written again.
"write it again" redoes everything; "surprise me" changes the hand too.

■ Turn it into washi tape
Your writing can be sent out as a washi tape pattern.
The background goes over transparent, so you can pick any tape
colour on the other side.
(Requires our separate app "maskingtape", version 8.0 or later.)

■ Peek backstage
See exactly how the letters are built — all sixteen parameters,
live, as you move the paw.
