Hand of Sean font on DaFont.com

I created my own font called Hand of Sean and it’s now available for download from DaFont.com. The font is free for personal use and all I ask is that you donate $5 if you want to use it for anything commercial.

UPDATE: 19th June 08 - 50,191 downloads!! And it’s been floating around number 20 on DaFont.com’s top 100!
