How To Build a Handwritten Letter Style Contact Form

Pen & paper inspired contact form in HTML and CSS

Follow this step by step tutorial to create a traditional pen & paper inspired contact form in HTML and CSS. We’ll use a mix of basic and intermediate CSS techinques to give the form the appearance of a letter, then use the @font-face CSS property to transform the digital text into handwriting.

 

The form we’re creating is styled with a lined background texture and a subtle shadow to give the impression of a paper sheet. The title and form fields will be styled as digital text, but instead of using rectangular form fields we’ll create dotted lines with a cursive font to give the appearance of a handwritten letter.
