This page uses custom handwriting fonts by Signature Software.
This page demonstrates a realistic handwriting simulation using four embedded handwriting fonts called 'Sig 1', 'Sig 2', 'Sig 3' and 'Sig 4'. Each font contains instances of letters that vary in shape and connection. Depending on where they occur in a word different letter shapes and connections are required.
Contextual handwriting fonts like these can be used to produce far more convincing handwriting simulations than ordinary handwriting fonts which only include one letterform for each character. Handwriting fonts have numerous applications in desktop publishing. They are used in the production of advertising, greeting cards, invitations, newsletters, menus, posters and numerous other areas. On the Web a custom handwriting font could be used in any project that requires a personal touch, such as an online diary, journal, newsletter or personal homepage.
