Steps of h andwritten font designĬreating a sample. In general, when designing new typefaces, especially handwritten ones, the following steps should be followed (Fig. Font segmentation concept for further variations 3) becomes the basis for a wide range of stylizations.įig. Usually, handwritten fonts are used in greeting and advertising cards, various invitations, high-art publications, the design of pages on social networks, etc.Īlgorithms for the automatic segmentation of font glyphs into strokes have also been developed. Fonts that imitate the handwritten style of writing symbols are surprisingly diverse and are often used to give the publication an informal character or emphasize its individuality. The group of handwritten fonts (scripts) includes fonts with patterns similar to the handwriting and calligraphic style of writing symbols (Fig. Inspired by calligraphic writing, researchers developed the Calligraphy Z system, which consists of software and hardware for creating handwriting-like characters, fig. Reproduction of the author’s handwriting in electronic format emphasizes the individuality of his publication and can be a guarantee of the success of a design project. It is interesting to be able to create fonts of various typefaces, including handwritten fonts based on a person’s own handwriting. Today, font development technologies have reached a fairly high professional level. The authors used a mathematical apparatus to design fonts, while designed the font considering the needs of older adults. The authors moved away from font recommendations and focused on investigating the properties of certain font elements.

The researchers claim that there are over 750,000 digital fonts, prompting them to analyze possible relationships between font and reading speed. The communicative function of fonts is no doubt important, and the study is devoted to the analysis of the complexity of the font. The relevance of fonts as an object of research is determined by the variety of industries in which the fonts are used.
