Yeah I think it was livetraced based off an original crayon drawing and then roughen or tweak was used.0

Crayon en Folie was made using an actual pencil. I wrote out all the glyphs, then scanned the document and vectorised it using Fontlab Studio. Fontlab Studio is better at complex fonts like Crayon en Folie, with a lot of nodes. I have Glyphs now, but creating these kinds of fonts is a pain in the behind in Glyphs, so I am not making them any longer.9

Is Illustrator trace good for this task vs FontLab?0

I used Photoshop a few times for this, since you can refine the selection more precise2
