Note of the author
A customized handwriting done in pencil.
Cont? Script is a computer font but has the extraordinary look of handwriting. The typeface is exceedingly lively, diversified and distinct thanks to more than 300 different ligatures, i.e. letter combinations.
Cont? Script is a computer font but has the extraordinary look of handwriting.
The typeface is exceedingly lively, diversified and distinct thanks to more than 300 different ligatures, i.e. letter combinations.
In order to retain the spiritedness of the handwriting in the font, various forms of the letters appear in the ligatures of Cont? Script so that, for example, an a looks different almost every time depending on with which letter it is (or isn't) joined together.
In addition to the letter combinations in Cont? Script, there are also double letters and figures included (aa, ff, AA, MM, 22, 66?) as ligatures with stylistic alternates.
Type set in Cont? Script appears remarkably similar to a text actually handwritten with a ball point pen.
Requirements for the automatic application of the ligatures are that OpenType-Fonts can be used on your computer (Windows XP or newer; Macintosh OS X or newer), and that your program supports OpenType-Features (i.e., Adobe InDesign CS or newer).
Of course, the application of OpenType-Features in your program pre-settings must be activated.
The typical style of the pencil ? crumbliness where pressure lessens and the deep darkness where the pressure of the graphite in its fullest denseness smudges ? is another earmark of Cont? Script. The font appears to be written quickly, fleetingly, casually, as if not really to be taken seriously, and as if it would be written one minute and erased the next.
Cont? Script looks most ?authentic? around the point size of 18 to 20.
