Yes. In fact, the way he used hyphenation at the end of a line made me go back and look at each letter to make sure it wasn't a font. They are very consistent, but not exact clones. Makes me wonder if there are ways to make fonts that use multiple versions of a letter to make them appear to be more hand written. I bet you could program one of these to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce35RAMMQug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce35RAMMQug
- someemptyspace 10y agoThe OpenType [1] font format does allow for stylistic alternates [2], which is basically what you're suggesting, in that different forms of characters are included and can be selected based on rules (like ligatures) or I believe selected at random. When used with a handwriting font it does more closely resemble natural handwriting to the casual observer.
