I generally try to write out the kanji with a pen+paper every time I review them.

I've noticed some primitives like 心 can look quite different depending on the font, And I wonder if my handwriting would be hard to read If I were to pick the wrong font to copy.

I'd suggest copying a kyokasho ("textbook" style) font at first. In the Yamasa pages it's the centre animated one. As you get more experienced and write faster your writing should then naturally become more like the font on the right

In general you don't want to copy a computer font because certain characters look different from written forms in almost every font.

Ok, I will go with plan B, kidnapping a native and forcing them to handwrite kanji for food.

Copy the KanjiStrokeOrders font.

i tried doing that but people have started asking me why my kanji is full of little numbers

The strokenumber font is good for checking stroke order, but it's not especially well written in terms of penmanship and the hane/tome can be hard to see in some characters. Like Katsuo said you should be copying a kyokasho font.
