Mission
The handwriting font library addresses a problem that affects everyone who writes digitally: generic fonts that lack a personal connection. We believe that handwriting connects us to the hearts and minds behind the letters. That’s why we carefully digitize historical handwriting styles, creating authentic fonts that bring the personal expressions of inspiring figures into our digital age.
We aim to build the world’s most extensive and participatory collection of historical handwriting fonts. Through careful digitization and documentation, we uphold the highest standards of authenticity. Our growing community of members shapes this vision by voting on which historical handwriting to preserve next.
Rather than merely viewing historical figures through artifacts and monuments, these fonts let you actively incorporate their essence into your daily writing. Whether you’re a student writing an essay or a creative professional crafting content—each keystroke connects you with the personalities shaping our world.
Join us in preserving and celebrating the human element in digital writing. Together, we are making history accessible, one letter at a time.
