This versatile script is inspired by sign writing and offers a range of styles from geometric to free-hand. Ideal for hand lettering of menus, signs and boards. Writer is an unconnected script typeface written with a flat felt tip marker. The bevelled tip is natural for calligraphy. It allows for better grip ergonomics and a more flexible slant in the fingers and wrist. All the glyphs can be written in two or three brisk strokes at first, and by gradually simplifying the shape, adding speed, and increasing confidence in writing, the script can be brought to a form where each letter is written with only one single stroke. This also changes the character of the typeface: from the more geometrically austere through the freely written to the calligraphic. I chose the first rigid one to serve as a guide so that everyone can further adapt to their writing style. The final calligraphic form is up to the author and represents one way they can develop the hand-out.
