Martin Luther King Font Update #40 February 2024 – more vowels.

The Martin Luther King Jr. font is designed to store four variations for each letter, but currently, many letters only have one or two variations. Since vowels appear more frequently than consonants in words, having a broader range of vowel variations improves the overall look of the font.

All variations of “e” including final and initial forms stored in the font.

Following update #39, the February version continues adding more vowels to the Martin Luther King, Jr. handwriting font, specifically variations for the letters e, o, and u. In future updates, I will focus on completing all vowel variations for the font.

All new letter variations are from “An Autobiography of Religious Development” Pages 2, 4, and 6. Click to enlarge the image.

e – Variation “to get at”
o – Variation “of unsophisticated”
u – Variation “pronounced”
e – Variation
o – Variation
u – Variation
Here, you can see the lowercase e and some variations stored in the font software. “init” and “fina” mean initial and final letter forms. The orange and brown marked letters are original variations drawn from manuscripts; the others are instances that refer to an original letter.

The font changes the variations as you type. This video shows how the different variations come into play as you type; each keystroke alters the look of the text:

Usually this “exchange” is enabled by default. If you do not see the letters change as you type, you can find detailed information on how to activate the feature in the FAQ section. Alternatively, each font comes with quick start documents for a variety of software (i.e. Word, PowerPoint, Pages, OpenOffice, InDesign, etc.) Each document is set up to apply all font features:

The new version is ready for download. It will appear in your font menu as “Martin Luther King – 2024 February.” I recommend uninstalling older versions to keep your font menu organized.
